Colville, WA is fortunate to have a dedicated USDA cut & wrap facility in Smokey Ridge Meats. Smokey Ridge works closely with Community Agriculture Development Center's (CADC) USDA-inspected Meat Processing Unit (MPU) that serves small-scale producers of beef, pork, lamb and goat. This facility combination makes direct and retail markets accessible to small-scale regional red meat producers.
Brent Olsen of Olsen Farms shares how and why he began using the USDA cut & wrap facility, and how valuable it has been to his business and to the community to have access to a local USDA-inspected MPU run by S&K Processing.
