Haines Farming and Meat Processing

Haines Farming and Meat Processing operates at 425 Wirsing Road in Gibbon Glade, Pennsylvania, in Fayette County, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M48121 and P48121. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection dated May 9, 2022. FSIS classifies the operation as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. The listed phone number is (724) 329-3400.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary directory listings and a Facebook page use the names Haines Farming and Custom Meat and Haines Farming and Custom Meat Processing at the same address and phone number. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and retail offerings, are 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 resulting packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places the operation in the smallest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (724) 329-3400 to confirm availability, since no source confirms the plant is currently accepting work.

Haines Farming 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, and secondary directories categorize it as a butcher shop. No source on file names specific cuts, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering, and no hours are published in the material reviewed. Households should contact the plant directly at (724) 329-3400 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.
