Mobile slaughter and on-farm processing services have become an increasingly important part of the local food system. These mobile units bring the processing facility directly to the farm, reducing stress on animals and allowing smaller farms to sell inspected meat directly to consumers.
Tennessee's food culture is defined by its love of smoked and cured meats. From country ham to pulled pork, Tennesseans have elevated meat preparation to an art form. Local butchers and processors here often carry specialty cuts you won't find in a grocery store.
If you're a consumer looking to buy directly from a farm that uses mobile slaughter, the farmer schedules a mobile slaughter date, the animal is processed on-farm, the carcass is transported to a cut-and-wrap facility, and you receive your finished cuts 2-4 weeks later.
Mobile slaughter units are often booked solid during fall harvest season. If you're a farmer looking to book a mobile unit, contact providers in late winter or early spring for fall availability.
