Tyson Foods, Inc.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates establishment P6651 at 901 W Jackson in Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee. The federal record lists the establishment under the alternate names Delightful Farms, Howard County Farms, TSD Sales and Distribution, and Tyson Farms, Inc. FSIS records the plant for poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is October 2, 2020, and FSIS classifies the plant in its large size category with a slaughter volume category of 5.0, the highest of the reported volume tiers.

No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the plant is not recorded as processing animals for return to individual owners. The website on file is the corporate site for Tyson Foods, which describes the company as a protein-focused food company producing roughly 20 percent of the beef, pork, and chicken in the United States, with brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, and State Fair. The company reports about 133,000 team members as of February 2026 and fiscal year 2025 sales of 54 billion dollars.

The corporate website does not publish operating details, retail hours, or booking information specific to the Shelbyville plant. A Facebook page for Tyson Shelbyville includes a January 2026 post stating that Tyson Foods Shelbyville no longer has an in-person option, though the context of that statement is not established in the material on file. Details beyond the federal record and the corporate site are not yet on file for this location.

The federal record lists poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection at P6651, and no custom-exempt activity is reported, so the plant is not recorded as doing custom kill or cut and wrap for individual producers. Tyson Foods operates at commercial scale, and the sources on file state nothing about grower contracts, booking, minimums, or fees at the Shelbyville location. Producers should contact the plant directly at (931) 684-8180 to learn how it sources birds.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

Nothing in the sources describes a retail counter, direct sales, bundles, delivery, or online ordering at the Shelbyville plant. Tyson Foods products are described on the corporate site as sold through grocery, club, and discount retail channels and to foodservice customers. A Facebook post attributed to Tyson Shelbyville in January 2026 states the location no longer has an in-person option.

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.
