Pasture-to-Pan livestock processing Services
Put the full quality and quantity of your husbandry’s yield on your table.
On-farm slaughter and artisanal breakdown
You raised your livestock to be happy and healthy, which assures delicious and nutritious meat. The capstone to that preparation is a quick kill in the familiar and comforting setting of home. Livestock slaughtered on-farm don’t experience the stress of travel and unusual circumstances immediately before their harvest. Village Herd provides you with the full quality and quantity your husbandry’s yield.
Brokering sale of your meat shares
Homesteaders and farmers are doing meaningful, noble work in our community, but it can be difficult to derive cash from it. Village Herd can advertise, broker, process, and deliver your meat shares to customers, so you can focus on raising the best meat in the region. We value your partnership and ensure you are generously compensated.
On-farm slaughter
Skip the hassle of loading the animals up for their last trip, which stresses them (and you) out! Herd animals fear separation more than death, and on-farm slaughter allows them to expire quickly surrounded by everything and everyone familiar to them.
Zero-waste
Your animal is giving everything - make sure you receive it! Industry standard for yield is 50-70% of hanging weight. At Village Herd we are proud to return 100% or more to you as a matter of course.
Artisan Preservation Included
Our forefathers knew how to keep meat wholesome without a freezer. We at Village Herd believe their wisdom can still benefit us today. Though traditional curing, brining, smoking, and potting, we can help your meat keep without worrying about cavernous freezer space or power outages.
