The Meat Shop LLC

The Meat Shop LLC operates at 3262 Dutch Valley Rd in Clinton, Tennessee, in Anderson County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M3586. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of March 4, 2026. FSIS classifies the operation as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale. That combination allows the plant to serve both farmers who intend to sell inspected meat and households having their own animal processed for personal use.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary listings place a retail-facing presence at the same address, and a Facebook page associated with the name has mentioned fresh farm raised chicken available at the shop, though poultry is not part of the FSIS activities listed for M3586. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, scheduling, pricing, cut and wrap options, and ownership, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, plus meat processing, so a producer can in principle have livestock harvested and processed here. FSIS also records custom-exempt slaughter, in which the animal remains the customer's property and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale and cannot be resold. The plant is a very small establishment with a reported slaughter volume of under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited and scheduling should be confirmed directly at (865) 368-2334. Booking windows, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, cut and wrap terms, and carcass aging are not stated in any source on file.

The Meat Shop 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.

Secondary listings describe a shop at the Clinton address, and a Facebook page under this name has posted about fresh farm raised chicken being available at the shop. Beyond that, no source on file confirms a staffed retail counter, halves and quarters, freezer bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households wanting their own animal processed should ask about the custom-exempt option, which returns meat labeled Not for Sale for the owner's use. Call (865) 368-2334 to confirm 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.
