La Belle Farm, Inc.

La Belle Farm, Inc. operates at 1511 Heart Lake Road in Scott Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M51252 and P51252. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 30, 2025. FSIS classifies the establishment in its very small size category.

Cattle are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection. The plant's reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest FSIS category, under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no menu of cuts, pricing, scheduling terms, or hours has been verified. A Pennsylvania corporate filing under this name is dated November 12, 2024, and a separate listing associates the La Belle Farm name with Ferndale, New York, as well. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file.

The federal record lists cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection, with reported volume under 1,000 head per year, which places the plant in the smallest FSIS volume category. Both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter are reported, so a producer could in principle have animals processed either for sale or for their own use with Not for Sale labeling. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill days, hanging and aging terms, cut and wrap options, and fees are not stated in any source on file. Contact the plant at (845) 295-0063 to confirm what work it takes, as listed.

La Belle Farm, Inc. 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 allows direct sales to household customers at the plant. No source on file describes a retail counter, hours, product list, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households should call (845) 295-0063 to ask what, if anything, is available for direct purchase.

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.
