Smoky Mountain Meats

Smoky Mountain Meats operates under USDA establishment number M2698 at 50 North Mountain Road in Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The Food Safety and Inspection Service record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of November 21, 2025. FSIS classifies the establishment in its Very Small size class, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The phone number on the federal record is (484) 332-9636.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it will process animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales, a category that covers direct sales of meat to household buyers at the establishment.

The website address carried on file, smokeymountainmeats.com, describes a differently spelled business, Smokey Mountain Meats, that markets steak, chicken, pork, and seafood by delivery in Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia at a 423 area code phone number. That material does not match the Newville, Pennsylvania location or the (484) phone number in the federal record and is not treated here as describing this establishment. Beyond the federal record, details such as hours, booking practices, cut and wrap options, pricing, and retail offerings are not yet on file.

The federal record lists this establishment for both slaughter and processing, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by the customer can be handled with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places the plant in the Very Small size class with annual slaughter under 1,000 head, so capacity is limited. Booking windows, scheduling lead time, kill day, hanging fees, cut and wrap charges, and minimums are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (484) 332-9636 to confirm what work is being accepted, as listed.

Smoky Mountain Meats 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.

The plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, a category that allows direct sales of meat to household customers, and it slaughters and processes beef, pork, and lamb under inspection. No source on file describes a retail counter, its selection, halves and quarters, bundle pricing, delivery, shipping, or online ordering for this Newville, Pennsylvania establishment. Buyers should call the number in the federal record to ask what is available.

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.
