How many very small slaughter plants does Massachusetts have?
2 establishments in Massachusetts carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 2 counties. 2 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.
What does the very small plants flag mean?
Establishments FSIS classes as Very Small, fewer than ten employees or under $2.5 million in annual sales. These are the plants that do custom work for households and cut for small farms, and the ones most likely to have a waiting list.
Are state-inspected plants included?
No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Massachusetts has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
