Now closed for the season. We will reopen for processing in April 2017.

It has been quite the year at the Abattoir. We saw our numbers increase across the board and welcomed many first time producers. Our buildings were renovated to allow for processing of beef, coming in 2017, and hogs-which we processed a dozen of this year and will expand our service next Fall.

 

Thank you to all customers, board members, volunteers and the community for your support in the 2016 season. The abattoir would not be possible without you. We look forward to more growth, expanding our services, and continuing to support local agriculture and food security in 2017.
