Pine Creek Processing LLC

Pine Creek Processing LLC, doing business as AA Poultry Processing, operates at 410 Cty Rd AA in Ridgeland, Dunn County, Wisconsin. The plant holds establishment numbers M45525, P45525, and V45525, with a grant of inspection dated September 29, 2021. FSIS lists it as Very Small and records activities including meat processing, poultry processing, poultry slaughter, and voluntary processing and slaughter for meat, poultry, and rabbit. Poultry is the species reported slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports both custom-exempt slaughter, where packages are marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 3.0.

The establishment's website describes a small USDA inspected and organic certified custom processing plant handling chickens, turkeys, pheasants, guineas, and rabbits, and states it will process flocks of any size. According to the site's history, Burnell and Ty Martin and family opened AA Poultry Processing in 2012, beginning as a custom plant, then moving to state inspection, then organic certification and USDA inspection, serving customers in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan. In September 2021 the business was sold to Logan and Amber Dwyer, who farm near Chetek, Wisconsin, raising beef, chickens, turkeys, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, small grains, and hay.

The website is oriented to custom processing for producers rather than to a retail meat counter. A published price list covers per-bird processing, cut-up work, giblets and organs, grinding, pet food, boxes and bags, and voluntary inspection at an hourly rate. A Facebook snippet attributed to the business mentions a first custom exempt pig; the federal record lists poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection, with voluntary meat and rabbit activities also on file.

The plant's website is built around custom processing and states it will process a flock of any size, with the customer and their birds described as the priority. Posted prices run $10.00 per bird for 1 to 9 chickens, $7.00 for 10 to 99, $6.50 for 100 to 999, and $6.00 for 1,000 or more; turkeys are $11.00 per bird, guineas $7.00, pheasants $6.00, and rabbits $6.50. Add-on charges include cut-up ($3.00 for Cornish Cross, $4.00 for colored birds, $5.00 for turkey), grinding at $0.50 per pound, neck removal, giblet and organ sets, pet food at $0.75 per pound, boxes at $3.50, oversize charges for birds over 8 pounds ($0.25/lb over) and turkeys over 20 pounds ($0.50/lb over), condemned bird fees set by USDA decision, and $0.50 per excessively dirty bird. Certified organic poultry is $0.95 per bird additional with a certificate required, and a one-time custom farm label setup fee is $25.00. Scheduling policies are stated: a $75.00 no appointment fee, a $50.00 charge for delivering less than 75 percent of scheduled birds without one week's notice, and storage at $0.15 per pound per day after five business days without prior arrangement. A 3.65 percent credit card fee and a $30.00 bounced check fee apply. Prices are listed as effective April 15, 2026 and subject to change, and the business states it reserves the right to refuse service. Custom-exempt work returns product marked Not for Sale to the owner of the animals.

Pine Creek Processing LLC 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 website does not describe a retail store, meat counter, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. The federal record notes retail-exempt sales, but the sources on file do not state what is offered for direct purchase by households. Buyers should contact the plant to ask what, if anything, is available.

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.
