White Lake Foods, LLC

White Lake Foods, LLC, doing business as HV Farms and Hudson Valley Chicken, is a federally inspected meat and poultry establishment at 14 Chicken Plant Lane in Ferndale, Sullivan County, New York. It holds establishment numbers M48281, P48281 and V48281, with a grant of inspection dated July 28, 2021. FSIS classifies the plant as small and lists its activities as poultry slaughter, poultry processing, meat processing, export certification, and voluntary processing of meat, poultry and rabbit.

Poultry is the only species the plant reports slaughtering under inspection. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 4.0, indicating a scale well above the smallest category of under 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the federal record does not show slaughter or processing of animals returned to an owner for personal use only.

No website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record are not yet documented here. Secondary listings describe the company as a producer of retail chicken and manufactured food products serving farms in the Sullivan County area, but the specific terms of service, pricing, scheduling and product lines are not stated in any source available to this registry. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at (845) 583-4090 to confirm current operations.
