Al-Marwa L. L. C.

Al-Marwa L. L. C. is a very small USDA-inspected establishment at 670 East Cherry Road in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, in Bucks County. It operates under establishment numbers M9672 and P9672, with a grant of inspection on file dated December 5, 2017. FSIS lists its activities as meat slaughter and meat processing.

The federal record shows cattle, sheep, and lamb slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports halal slaughter. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. Secondary business directories list the same address and the phone number (215) 536-6050, sometimes under the name Al-Marwa LLC Packing Inc. Hours, pricing, scheduling practices, and product lists are not documented here. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly to confirm what it offers and whether it is taking work, as listed.

The federal record lists cattle, sheep, and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports both federally inspected and custom-exempt slaughter. Custom work means the animal remains the property of the customer and the resulting packages are marked Not for Sale. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, with a slaughter volume category of 1, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, hanging weight policies, and drop-off arrangements are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (215) 536-6050 to confirm species accepted and scheduling.

Al-Marwa L. L. C. 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally allows direct sales of meat to household customers, and it reports halal slaughter. Whether a retail counter is open to walk-in shoppers, and whether halves, quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are available, is not stated in any source on file. Households should contact the establishment directly at (215) 536-6050 to ask what is sold and when.

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.
