Lone Crow Meat Processing LLC

Lone Crow Meat Processing LLC, doing business as Lone Crow Meats, is listed in the USDA FSIS directory at 430 Ferguson Ln, Eltopia, in Franklin County, Washington, under establishment number M2767B+I2767B. The federal record shows activities of meat slaughter, meat processing, and imported product, with a grant of inspection date on file of June 9, 2026. FSIS lists the plant as very small, reports cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection, and places it in slaughter volume category 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The record also indicates custom-exempt processing and halal slaughter.

The affiliated website, lonecrowranch.com, presents Lone Crow Ranch as a ranch in Eltopia with what it calls its own USDA inspected butcher shop in Connell, plus meat markets in Loon Lake, described as the original store built in 2020, and in Richland at The Parkway. The FSIS record lists the Eltopia address for the establishment, while the website describes the butcher shop as being in Connell, so buyers should confirm which location handles a given order. The website says the Connell butcher shop does not sell meat by the pound but can serve as a pickup point for bulk orders.

The retail side sells Wagyu beef, Angus beef described as grain finished and grass finished, pork, snack sticks, and shipped meat boxes. Note that FSIS lists cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection at this establishment, while the website also offers pork. Details beyond what appears above, including hours for the Eltopia plant, custom slaughter scheduling, and cut and wrap fees, are not yet on file.

The federal record shows meat slaughter and meat processing activities with cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection, custom-exempt processing reported, and halal slaughter reported, in the very small size class with annual slaughter under 1,000 head. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file, so a farmer or rancher would need to contact the plant at (509) 821-0442 to learn whether outside animals are taken and on what terms. The website is written from the perspective of the ranch's own cattle and hogs rather than custom work for other producers.

Lone Crow Meat Processing LLC reports custom-exempt processing 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.

Households can order through lonecrowranch.com, which lists Wagyu beef, grain-finished and grass-finished Angus beef, and pork sold as whole, half, and quarter animals with deposits of $200 for beef and $100 for pork, along with curated shipped boxes priced from $185 to $279 and snack sticks at $159. The site states that meat boxes ship free to Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California, that delivery is available in the Spokane, Tri-Cities, and Seattle areas, and that free pickup is available in Marysville. Individual cuts by the pound are sold at the Loon Lake and Richland meat markets; the Connell butcher shop is listed as a bulk order pickup point only and does not sell by the pound. A subscription option is described as saving $20 per box.

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.
