Berkshire View Custom Cut Meats, LLC

Berkshire View Custom Cut Meats, LLC is a very small USDA-inspected establishment at 838 Alcove Road in Hannacroix, Greene County, New York, operating under establishment number M3676. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of August 25, 2025. Species slaughtered under inspection are reported to FSIS as cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it can process animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Halal slaughter is reported to FSIS. FSIS places the plant in slaughter volume category 1.0, which means under 1,000 head per year.

The website on file, Hudson Valley Almanac, is a regional directory of farms and makers rather than a page maintained by the establishment, and it does not supply details about this plant. Secondary listings describe the business as a locally owned and operated USDA butcher shop and reference orders for whole, half, and quarter beef, but hours, pricing, cut and wrap terms, and booking policies are not yet on file beyond the federal record.

Berkshire View Custom Cut Meats, LLC reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and a secondary social media listing references taking orders for whole, half, and quarter cows by call or text.
