Rising Spring Meat Co.

Rising Spring Meat Co., doing business as Rising Spring Meat Company, operates at 119 Cooper Street in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania, in Centre County. The plant holds establishment numbers M44910, P44910 and V44910, with a grant of inspection on file with USDA FSIS dated October 27, 2021. FSIS lists it under both meat and poultry activities, covering meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing.

The establishment is classed by FSIS as Very Small. It reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, and its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports kosher slaughter.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no website text was available. Secondary listings describe it as a slaughterhouse and butcher shop in Spring Mills, but details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, retail offerings and ownership, are not yet on file.

FSIS records show cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb slaughtered under inspection, along with poultry slaughter and processing activities, so a producer hauling any of those species would be within the listed scope as of the federal record. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it can process animals a customer already owns, with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. Volume is small, under 1,000 head per year in the FSIS category, which suggests limited capacity. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, cut and wrap options and fees are not stated in any source on file, so producers should contact the plant at (814) 422-8810 to confirm what work it takes.

Rising Spring Meat Co. 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.
