Leidy's, LLC

Leidy's, LLC operates at 266 West Cherry Lane in Souderton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, under FSIS establishment numbers M9520, P9520 and V9520. The federal record lists the plant as doing business as Alderfer and as Bethlehem Sausage Works, and shows FSIS activities of meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing and export certification. Hogs are the species reported slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as small, with a slaughter volume category of 4.0, and lists a grant of inspection date of July 19, 2021. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The company website, published as Leidy's Premium Meats, states the business has operated since 1893 across five generations. It describes hogs raised on local partner farms on an all-natural, all-grain diet developed by Leidy's, and markets a craft pork line from heritage cross-breed hogs. The site says the company promises no artificial ingredients and emphasizes traceability with its farm partners.

Listed services on the website are retail, food service, co-packing, private label, custom harvest, custom livestock and supply chain, along with a mention of available certifications that are not itemized. A retail locations page exists on the site but no store listings appear in the fetched text. Hours, pricing, booking procedures and any halal, kosher or organic status are not stated in the sources on file.

The website states that Leidy's can work with a producer's favorite farms or that hogs can be sent directly to Leidy's, and it lists custom harvest and custom livestock supply chain among its services. The federal record reports hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection and shows no custom-exempt activity, so animals processed here would fall under federal inspection as listed. The site also describes long-running partnerships with local family farms that supply hogs raised on an all-natural, all-grain diet developed by Leidy's. Scheduling, lead times, minimum head counts, kill fees, cut and wrap charges and species other than hogs are not addressed in the sources on file.

Leidy's, LLC operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

Leidy's markets pork under its own brands, including a craft pork line and Nature's Tradition, and its website says the company has supplied natural pork to home cooks since 1893. A retail locations page invites visitors to find the products at a local retail store, but no specific stores are listed in the text on file. The sources do not describe an on-site retail counter, halves or quarters, freezer bundles, online ordering, delivery or shipping to households.

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.
