Processing

Light Hill Meats, LLC is a family-owned, USDA-inspected processing facility and a whole-animal butcher in historic Lynnville, TN. We take pride in our high standards in humane livestock handling that are third party-verified. 

As farmers ourselves, we know first-hand the hard work our customers put into raising their animals. We consider it a privilege to continue that work with the best quality local harvest and processing possible.

We process (custom and USDA-inspected):

CUSTOM VS USDA

Custom processing is only for meat that you wish to eat at home and is not for sale. USDA-inspected processing is for resale. You cannot do custom processing and sell to others. The cut forms are available below. You can select your cuts or have us help guide you through what would be a possible harvest.
