Stone Gardens Farm Market offers USDA Meat Packing/Processing

We are offer USDA inspected meat processing at our farm. There are options for beef and pork as well as smoked meats and some custom options as well, such as lamb, goat and deer. Stone Gardens Farm Market will work with you to arrange to have your meat transported to local slaughterhouses that we are affiliated with, and then have the meat transported back to our farm for USDA inspected cutting and packaging. This ensures that all meats going through our farm are safe and are properly labeled and packaged - USDA Approved. 

Stone Gardens Farm Market’s meat is USDA Approved. You will notice that some of our meats we have for sale have a different label. This label has our USDA establishment number on it and means that the products cut and wrapped that day were done under USDA inspection. The only difference between this label and our regular label is that an inspector from USDA was here that day overseeing the whole process - they are exactly what you have been getting all along from our farm. What this also means is that these products can be sold anywhere; local grocery stores, small markets, out of state, anywhere that would like to sell our meat products. This label allows us to sell our products in locations that we couldn’t before. It also allows us to process whole carcasses for other farmers to sell at their farm stands.
Stone Gardens Farm Market has become the first farm in CT with a USDA approved cutting room. It’s nice to see the next generation bringing new ideas to “grow the farm”.
