Century Harvest Farms LLC

Century Harvest Farms LLC, doing business as Bluestem Hollow, is a USDA-inspected meat establishment at 1325 Sheets Hollow Rd in Greenback, Blount County, Tennessee. It holds FSIS establishment number M2282, with a grant of inspection dated April 16, 2024. The federal record lists both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing activities, and reports cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection.

The plant reports a slaughter volume category of 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year, which places it among the smaller inspected slaughter operations in the state. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, where animals remain the property of the customer and the resulting packages are marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales. FSIS does not report a size class for this establishment.

The federal record lists this establishment as performing both slaughter and processing under inspection, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb among the species slaughtered. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can have animals they own processed with packages marked Not for Sale, in addition to inspected slaughter for animals whose meat will be sold. Reported volume falls in the under 1,000 head per year category, which suggests limited scheduling capacity. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file, so a producer should call (830) 265-0435 before hauling animals.

Century Harvest Farms 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.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally allows direct sales of meat to household customers at the establishment. No source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping, and no products or cuts are named. Household buyers should contact the plant directly to learn what, if anything, is available for purchase.

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.
