Pilgrim's Pride Corporation

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation operates a poultry slaughter and processing establishment at 129 Potomac Avenue in Moorefield, Hardy County, West Virginia. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M810 and P810 and reports poultry processing and poultry slaughter activities to USDA FSIS, with a grant of inspection date on file of May 13, 2021. FSIS classifies the facility in its largest size class and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest volume tier in the directory. Poultry is the only species reported slaughtered under inspection, and no custom-exempt activity is reported.

The corporate website describes Pilgrim's as a global provider of poultry, pork, and prepared foods brands, with more than 61,000 team members, 39 fresh processing facilities and 30 prepared foods facilities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Europe. The company states it has supplied products for more than seven decades and partners with more than 6,800 family farms for poultry, hog, and lamb supplies. Corporate headquarters are listed at 1770 Promontory Circle, Greeley, Colorado. The site is written for retail, restaurant, and foodservice customers and investors, and does not describe the Moorefield facility individually.

The federal record notes the establishment also does business as Pilgrim's, Rockingham, and Shenvalley. Secondary directory listings mention a separate Pilgrim's Pride Prepared Foods address at 214 S Main St in Moorefield, which is not the address on the federal record for M810+P810. Beyond the federal record and the corporate website, details specific to this plant, including hours, retail sales, and any arrangements for individual farmers, are not yet on file.

The establishment reports poultry slaughter and poultry processing to FSIS and reports no custom-exempt activity, meaning it is not listed as doing custom work in which an owner keeps the meat for personal use. Corporate material states Pilgrim's partners with more than 6,800 family farms for poultry, hog, and lamb supplies, which reflects contract growing arrangements at the company level rather than a stated intake program at this plant. Nothing in the sources describes booking, minimums, fees, or cut and wrap for individual producers hauling animals to Moorefield. Growers interested in supply relationships would need to contact the company directly at (304) 538-7811 or through the corporate contact channels.

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation 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.

No retail counter, halves or quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are described for this location in the sources. The corporate website is oriented to retailers, restaurants, foodservice providers, and consumers reached through branded products in grocery channels rather than direct sales at the plant.

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.
