Mobile Meat Processing Plants in Minnesota?

Posted by Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin on July 12, 2010

Don’t think it is a pipedream, it will come to your local farmer and to our area very soon. If anyone out there is working seriously on this issue, PLEASE drop us a note at the Rural Enterprise Center. There are many strategies to deal with this problem of meat processing in our region and we are working hard at one option. Our meat inspection officials are very supportive, but as all of us know, meat processing has to be done right for it to be consistently safe for consumers, this means working with professionals in this area to get this done right and build a network of mobile facilities to serve our region’s local food markets and farmers.
