Williamsburg Packing Company Inc.

Williamsburg Packing Company Inc. operates at 920 Eastland Avenue in Kingstree, South Carolina, in Williamsburg County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M4005, P4005 and V4005, with a grant of inspection dated February 22, 2022. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment and lists it under meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter and poultry processing, along with voluntary slaughter and voluntary processing for meat, poultry and rabbit.

The species reported to FSIS as slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and poultry. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 3.0, which places it above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year.

No website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record are not yet documented here. Secondary directory listings place the business at the same address with the phone number (843) 355-6447, and one third party listing describes it as a small federally inspected facility working with poultry, pork, beef, lamb and goat. A Facebook page for Williamsburg Packing in Kingstree categorizes the business as a grocery store. Those secondary descriptions are not confirmed by the establishment and should be verified by calling directly.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be handled either for resale under inspection or as customer-owned custom work returned in packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported as slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and poultry, and FSIS also lists voluntary rabbit slaughter. No booking process, lead times, minimums, kill day schedule, hanging fees or cut and wrap charges are stated in the sources on file. Farmers should call (843) 355-6447 to confirm what species and volumes are being scheduled, as listed.

Williamsburg Packing Company Inc. 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 establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates meat may be sold directly to consumers at the location, and one secondary listing categorizes the business as a grocery store. No product list, bundle or half and quarter pricing, delivery, shipping or online ordering information appears in the sources on file. Household buyers should contact the plant directly to learn 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.
