What Is Custom Processing?
Paonia Food Club Services
One of our primary services is Custom Meat Processing.
Paonia Food Club is a certified facility for custom processing, which means we have been inspected and approved of by state and federal agencies to process your meat!
Although we aren’t a USDA retail facility, we are a custom processor. After the slaughter, we are able to take in the meat you raise or, under Colorado law, meat that you buy directly from the producer, and we can cut and wrap it to your exact specifications.
How Do You Want Your Meat?
You are in control! If you want an entire beefs-worth of burger that’s what you’re gonna get. If you want, you can keep your bones and fat and organs. Also, we can grind your organs into your grind.
You always get the cuts you want.
It’s a fun process for us to help you consider how you best like to prepare and enjoy your meat. Do you like to prepare lots of big family dinners with roasts? Do you want to buy a whole hog for your daughter’s wedding? Do you want some fun cuts for grilling with your buddies this summer?
We are regularly reminded through the collaborative event that is custom processing, that so much of our lives comes back to how we eat, and we are grateful to be a part of that.
