Chawdhury Farm and Meat Processing

Chawdhury Farm and Meat Processing operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M2457+P2457 at 139 Callapoose Road, Sterling Township, Pennsylvania, in Wayne County. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection dated April 30, 2025. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest FSIS category of under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and sheep and lamb. The plant reports halal slaughter. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales. Listing directories show a nearby address of 135 Callapoose Rd for the same business name; the FSIS record gives 139 Callapoose Road. An FSIS document titled Notice of Suspension Held in Abeyance is on file referencing establishment M2457.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no menu of cuts, pricing, booking process, or hours has been published to this registry. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. Farmers and household buyers should call (570) 689-2350 to confirm current status, scheduling, and what the plant will take.

The federal record lists cattle and sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection, so those are the animals the plant is set up for as listed. Both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter are reported, so a producer could in principle have animals processed either for resale under inspection or for personal use with Not for Sale labeling. Halal slaughter is reported to FSIS. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, and should be confirmed by phone at (570) 689-2350.

Chawdhury Farm and Meat Processing 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 reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally indicates some direct sale of meat, but no source on file describes a retail counter, product list, halves or quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Halal slaughter is reported. Households interested in buying should call (570) 689-2350 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.
