North Fork Packing

Thank you so much to WSDA for supporting local food systems and fully funding a single phase, diesel generator for our facility!

This generator will be able to fully power the kill floor, the two refrigerated containers, the two drip coolers, the age cooler, the two sub zero freezers, and the cutting room at the same time.

Obviously food safety via continuous refrigeration is paramount, but also being able to continue operations even with a power loss will help us be able to stay on schedule.

Our four years in business, we have lost power a half a dozen times, so this is absolutely a necessity and huge relief for us.

I thought this was a pretty informative graphic.

“Always match your breed to your purpose” is great advice.

It is never fun as a processor when somebody picks up their finished product and is disappointed with the yield. Unfortunately, we cannot make muscle (packaged cuts) out of fat. If the carcass was never especially meaty to begin with, the yield is probably going to be lower than expected.



Name a more American Friday night, and start to a long weekend, dinner.

God bless and long live the American rancher.

This Memorial Day weekend, we remember the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

🇺🇸❤️💙🥩
