Divine Meats, Inc.

Divine Meats, Inc., doing business as Prime Halal Farm, operates at 1200 Mars Rd in Ferris, Texas, in Dallas County, under FSIS establishment numbers M47867 and P47867. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing and poultry processing activities, with a grant of inspection dated July 1, 2022. FSIS classes the plant as small and lists cattle, sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection, with a slaughter volume category of 2.0. The establishment reports halal slaughter, custom-exempt slaughter of animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales.

The website on file, Divine Foods USA, describes the Ferris facility as a USDA-inspected halal slaughterhouse certified by the Halal Food Standards Alliance of America (HFSAA). The site states that every animal is faced toward the Qiblah and slaughtered by hand without stunning before or after, that the slaughter is performed by practicing Muslims who pronounce the name of Allah before the cut, and that the slaughter is carried out over clean dirt. It describes severing the trachea, esophagus and the major arteries and veins of the neck to allow complete blood drainage, with all steps conducted under USDA supervision and internal quality control.

The site describes the company as family-run and Muslim-owned, says it has supplied over $40 million worth of halal meat to families, mosques and businesses since 2012, and states that it serves grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers and communities. It also invites livestock owners to process or sell livestock and promotes a Riba-free investment offering. Note the phone numbers differ: the federal record and business directories list (972) 790-8047, while the website contact page lists (972) 299-0487. Hours are not stated in the sources on file.

The federal record shows Divine Meats slaughters cattle, sheep and lamb under inspection and also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it will process animals owned by the customer with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. The website invites livestock owners to process or sell livestock and directs inquiries through a contact form, a scheduling calendar, or phone. Booking windows, lot minimums, kill fees, hanging weight pricing and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Producers should note that slaughter is performed by hand without stunning, in accordance with the halal method described on the site.

Divine Meats, 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and the website points visitors to a Where to Buy page and a Become a Divine Customer contact path, indicating meat is sold to households as well as to mosques, grocery stores and restaurants. The site states all meat is hand-slaughtered Zabiha halal and HFSAA certified. Retail counter hours, halves and quarters, bundle boxes, online ordering and shipping or delivery are not described in the sources on file, so buyers should contact the establishment directly.

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.
