Coffaro's Custom Butchering, LLC

Coffaro's Custom Butchering, LLC operates at 9280 Route 957 in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania, in Warren County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M9712. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection on file is dated December 29, 2016.

The establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with resulting packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. A secondary listing describes the business as offering custom cut USDA butchering for beef and pig. The plant has no website on file with this registry, and details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, and cut and wrap options, are not yet on file.

Farmers and households wanting specifics should contact the plant directly at (814) 489-7844. One secondary directory lists the street address as 9820 Pennsylvania 957 rather than 9280 Route 957; the address reported to FSIS is 9280 Route 957.

The plant is set up for small-scale work: FSIS lists it as very small, with slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, and it reports slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can bring an animal they own and receive packages marked Not for Sale for their own household use. Booking lead times, kill days, hanging or aging practices, cut and wrap options, and fees are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (814) 489-7844 to confirm species accepted, scheduling, and whether inspected slaughter for resale is available for their animals.

Coffaro's Custom Butchering, LLC 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 allows direct sales of meat to household customers, and a secondary listing describes custom cut USDA butchering for beef and pig. No source on file states retail counter hours, availability of halves or quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying meat or in splitting an animal with others should contact the plant directly 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.
