Marcho Farms, Inc.

Marcho Farms, Inc., doing business as Provimi Foods, operates a USDA-inspected establishment at 519 Allentown Road in Souderton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The plant holds establishment number M7857 and is listed with FSIS for meat processing and meat slaughter, with sheep and lamb reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the plant as small, records a grant of inspection date of 2021-08-02, and places it in slaughter volume category 3.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The company website traces the business to 1969, when Wayne Marcho raised his first calves for veal at age 20. Wayne and Martha "Marty" Derstein Marcho started a family home and veal farm in Montgomery County, and the site states the business partners with more than one hundred Amish family farms to supply veal products to homes and restaurants across the United States. The site describes a second generation of Marcho family members in the business. Lambs are described as raised on summer pastures, and calves in communal housing, with specialized feeding programs and veterinary oversight on partner farms.

Buyers should note the difference between the two records. FSIS lists sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection at M7857, while the website's product and story pages emphasize veal along with lamb. Details beyond the federal record and the website text above, including cut and wrap terms, pricing, and whether the plant takes in animals from outside farms, are not yet on file.

The website offers online ordering of farm-raised meats for home delivery or local pickup. Orders placed online by Friday are delivered or available for pickup the following week. Pickup is at the Souderton location only, at the Marcho Farms visitors entrance, 519 Allentown Road. A store locator page exists on the site but no store list appears in the fetched text, and no prices, bundles, or half or quarter animal offerings are stated.

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.
