Eagle Bridge Custom Meat and Smokehouse

Eagle Bridge Custom Meat and Smokehouse operates at 139 Center Road in Eagle Bridge, Washington County, New York, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M33843 and P33843. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of October 16, 2020. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in category 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale. Poultry processing is listed among its FSIS activities, though the federal record does not indicate poultry slaughter.

The website address on file for this establishment resolves to the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce, a regional membership organization, rather than to a page describing the plant itself. As a result, no company-published information on hours, pricing, booking, cut and wrap options, retail sales, ownership, or history is available. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at (518) 677-2702.

Eagle Bridge Custom Meat and Smokehouse 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.
