New England Poultry processors

18 years ago

We're considering raising about 20 chickens for meat this summer. Now the raising is the easy part... the killing and cleaning is the hard part (for me, anyway). I've done it a few times before, but really don't enjoy it much.

I've heard that there are poultry processors scattered throughout New England, but I can't find any of them. In other words, I bring them a crate of live birds in the morning and pick up a box of meat in the afternoon. This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, but I've scoured the web and can't seem to find any.

Anybody know of any poultry processors in the Massachusetts area?

Thanks!

We use a couple in Derry NH, they are not usda certified but are licensed. I'm not sure where you live, but if it's not too far for you I can send you their contact info.

Oh please do Sheila! Derry is about an hour from here, but it would be worth the trip. Might I inquire how much they charge per bird?

Thanks!

Jonathan,

I called them last year and they told me they do not process poultry. I know they do larger livestock though, a friend of mine had a pig processed there and they smoked part of it etc. she said it was wonderful.
