Hart & Vold Meat Market

Hart & Vold Meat Market operates at 700 Lincoln Avenue in Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin, and does business as The Meat Market. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M46340, P46340, and V46340, with a grant of inspection date on file of August 26, 2021. FSIS lists it as a small establishment carrying out meat identification, meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing, voluntary processing of meat, and voluntary slaughter of meat.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment does not report custom-exempt activity, meaning animals handled here are listed as processed under inspection rather than returned as custom, not-for-sale meat. It does report retail-exempt sales, which is consistent with a counter selling directly to the public. FSIS places its slaughter volume in category 2.0 on a scale where category 1 covers plants under 1,000 head per year.

Secondary listings describe the business as a meat store incorporated in Wisconsin as Hart & Vold Meat Market, Inc., operating as a Subchapter S corporation in the retail sale of meat sector. A page associated with The Meat Market states that meat comes from local farmers and is cut fresh daily, and that the business started out as Mueller's Meat Market, owned by Marv and Gene Mueller. The website on file is a Facebook page, and no site text was available for this record. Details beyond the federal record and these brief listings are not yet on file.

FSIS lists cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection at this establishment, and the plant carries both slaughter and processing activities on its grant. No custom-exempt activity is reported, so a producer should not assume custom, not-for-sale kill-and-cut service is available here. The plant's slaughter volume falls in FSIS category 2.0, above the under-1,000-head category. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day scheduling, hanging weight fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Contact the plant at (608) 356-5574 to confirm what it accepts, as listed.
