Processing services built
around your harvest

Every animal is different. We tailor our approach to your game — from whole hindquarters to specialty cuts — so you get exactly what you want in your freezer.

Whole Hindquarter Processing

Complete breakdown and trimming of hindquarters into roasts, steaks, and stew meat. Properly aged and vacuum-sealed for optimal flavor and shelf life.

Custom Cut & Package

Choose your steak thickness, roast sizes, and ground meat blend. We package every cut in vacuum-seal bags labeled and dated for your convenience.

Sausage & Specialty Items

Turn your trim into breakfast sausage, jerky strips, or smoked products. Bring your own seasoning or let us recommend a blend that complements game meat.

Same-Week Turnaround

Drop off your harvest and pick up your processed meat within the week. We keep things moving so your game never sits — quality is never delayed.

Sanitary & Inspected Facility

Our processing area meets all state and local sanitation standards. Clean equipment, proper temperature control, and careful handling from start to finish.

Convenient Pickens Location

Located at 329 Wash Lesley Rd in Pickens, we're easy to find and easy to drop off at. Flexible hours available during peak processing season — call ahead.
