Newport Meat Pacific Northwest

Newport Meat Pacific Northwest, doing business as Fulton Provision Company, operates at 16123 N.E. Airport Way in Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M1164, P17351, and V1164, with a grant of inspection date on file of January 7, 2021. FSIS lists the establishment as Small and records a broad set of activities: meat processing, poultry processing, voluntary processing of meat, poultry, and rabbit, and voluntary slaughter of meat, poultry, and rabbit. Species detail is not reported to FSIS, and no custom-exempt activity is reported.

The website on file, buckheadmeat.com, presents the location as part of Buckhead and Newport Meat & Seafood, described there as a meat and seafood distributor serving steakhouses, resorts, restaurants, retailers, and other foodservice accounts across North America. The site states the company was formed in 1999 to supply portion-cut fresh steaks, chops, poultry, and seafood, and that it has since assembled a group of specialty meat and seafood distributors. Product lines named are beef, seafood, poultry, pork, lamb, and game, with grinds and blends, bulk and patty formats, precooked and raw items, and wet and dry aging programs for steaks.

The site describes fabrication services including custom hand cuts, auto slicing, dicing, grinds and patties, flattening, filleting, butterflying, skinning and descaling, and sizing and sorting, and states that trained meat cutters at each location cut to customer specifications. It also describes a natural beef program developed with local ranchers at Newport locations, marketed as never given hormones or antibiotics, and Buckhead Pride and Newport Pride brands. Company-wide statements on the site are not always specific to the Portland address, and the site notes that custom offerings vary by location.

This is a wholesale and foodservice operation as described. Nothing in the sources indicates retail counter sales, farm-animal drop-off, or freezer trade sales to households.

The sources do not describe custom processing for individual farmers or ranchers. FSIS reports no custom-exempt activity at this establishment, and the website presents the operation as a wholesale meat and seafood distributor and fabricator serving foodservice and retail accounts rather than a drop-off slaughter plant. The website's beef page states that the company works with selected suppliers, farms, and packers meeting its criteria for marbling, trimming, and sizing, and that a natural beef program was developed with local ranchers at Newport locations, but no booking process, scheduling window, minimums, kill fees, or cut and wrap charges are stated. Producers interested in supply relationships would need to contact the plant directly at (503) 254-3000.

Newport Meat Pacific Northwest operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

No retail store, halves or quarters, freezer bundles, online ordering, or home shipping is described in the sources. The website directs prospective buyers to become a customer and lists foodservice and retail segments including restaurants, healthcare and senior living, higher education, government, travel, leisure venues, and supermarkets and other retail stores. Delivery is described as available Monday through Saturday for customer accounts. Households seeking these products would most likely encounter them through restaurants or retailers supplied by the plant.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
