Processing

In order for MaineStock to attain the goal of making local Maine meats affordable for all consumers, we have determined that we need to also do our own slaughtering. This will ensure that we have control over both quality and cost. Incorporating this into our business model enables us to offer the following services.

We will offer USDA processing services of multi-species, including beef and cull dairy cows, pork, sheep and goat for local and regional farmers. MaineStock plays a vital role in supporting producers who direct market to consumers by providing top quality services and products “behind the scenes”.

MaineStock will be USDA Inspected, GAP compliant, Certified Humane® and Certified Organic by USDA and MOFGA. Our business practices adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards. The “Abattoir” plays a vital role in our regional food system and we are committed to a working philosophy that combines compassionate awareness with skilled craftsmanship.
