Custom gourmet meat processing on your site by a highly skilled professional meat cutter and chef. This is not your "how many chops? how many steaks? what kind of sausage?" processing. I specialize in pork, lamb and venison. I am very good with poultry, if you have a lot of birds, 40 or so, it's worth it to give me a shout.
I custom cut and guide you to the most economical and versatile cuts from your animal. Your yield will be higher and the portions will be sized for your family. My emphasis is on your needs. I can give you more lean stew meat or more sausage, your choice. The loin can be cut and tied into a larger roast for a hoilday or into thick boneless chops. The hindquarter is the biggest source of lean meat and is so much more than a whole or half ham. What could be more satisfing than making and smoking your own bacon for family and friends?

Here is what you need to do
- live pretty close to the Mad River Valley, I hate to drive and will have to charge you for my travel time
- arrange for slaughter and proper cooling of animal carcass in accordance with all local, state and federal law (there's not many and most are common sense)
- arrange for a proper place to process the animal that is out of the elements. A garage or shed works well. If there is no precipitation a level piece of ground works well
- you need to be here while I cut so you can see and decide what to do, don't worry I'll help you with decisions.
- have access to an electrical outlet
- potable water
- have your freezer or refrigerator all set for the bounty
