Bierly's Meat Market

Bierly's Meat Market operates at 189 Long Street in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania, in Centre County, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M9380 and P9380. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection on file dated June 29, 1994. FSIS classifies the establishment in its Very Small size class.

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 with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, which covers plants handling under 1,000 head per year.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary business directory listings confirm the Spring Mills address and the phone number (814) 422-8841, and one listing shows weekday hours beginning at 6:45 a.m. and ending at 3:00 p.m. Beyond the federal record and those listing details, information about pricing, booking, cut and wrap options, and retail offerings is not yet on file.

The federal record lists cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter for animals owned by the customer, with packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places the plant in its smallest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, and in the Very Small size class, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, drop-off days, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Farmers would need to contact the plant at (814) 422-8841 to confirm availability and terms.

Bierly's Meat Market 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 is listed in business directories under butcher shop and wholesale meat categories, but no source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying should call (814) 422-8841 to ask what is available.

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.
