Plainville Farms

Plainville Farms operates a USDA-inspected poultry plant at 304 South Water Street in New Oxford, Adams County, Pennsylvania, under establishment numbers P244 and V244A. The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing activities, a large FSIS size class, and a grant of inspection date on file of October 10, 2023. Slaughter volume falls in FSIS category 4.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The company website describes Plainville Farms as a natural and certified organic turkey brand with roots in family farming dating back nearly 200 years, and states the business has been nourishing lives since 1923. Turkeys are described as raised on partner family farms without antibiotics, fed an all-vegetarian diet with no animal by-products, and given space and outdoor access under free range and organic programs. The site says the company opens its gates to third party verification of its quality standards.

The plant is oriented toward branded retail supply rather than local drop-off work. Website material points shoppers to grocery stores rather than an on-site counter, and the contact page offers a toll free line at 1-800-724-0206 along with a form for product inquiries, where-to-buy questions, and new customer inquiries. A search snippet from an Adams County news report states the company employs nearly 700 people at the New Oxford turkey processing plant. Details beyond these sources, including hours, custom slaughter terms, and pricing, are not on file.

The website directs shoppers to buy Plainville Farms turkey at local grocery stores, and describes fresh product shipped from its farms to retail, packaged on a tray the company calls the Go Green Tray. Ground turkey is offered at 85%, 94%, and 99% lean points. No retail counter at the plant, halves or quarters, bundles, delivery, or online ordering is described in the sources. Buyers with product or where-to-buy questions are directed to a toll free number, 1-800-724-0206, or a contact form.

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.
