Penn Valley Meats, LLC

Penn Valley Meats, LLC operates at 572 North Stone Road in Millersburg, Pennsylvania, in Dauphin County. The plant holds establishment numbers M2145 and V2145 and appears in the USDA FSIS directory with a grant of inspection date on file of June 17, 2024. FSIS lists the establishment for Meat Processing, Meat Slaughter, Voluntary Processing of meat and poultry, and Voluntary Slaughter of meat and poultry, and classifies it as Very Small.

Under federal inspection the plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports halal slaughter.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary directory listings describe it as a butcher shop and indicate that it butchers beef, pork, deer, and other game meat, and one listing describes it as an old fashioned butcher shop doing processing. Beyond the federal record and those listings, details such as hours, pricing, booking practices, retail offerings, ownership, and founding date are not yet on file. Farmers and households should contact the plant at (717) 362-3650 to confirm current services and availability.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals may be handled either for resale under inspection or returned to the owner in packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. FSIS places the plant in slaughter volume category 1.0, under 1,000 head per year, and in the Very Small size class, 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. Contact the plant directly at (717) 362-3650 to confirm.

Penn Valley Meats, 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.
