Arrow Farm Meats

Arrow Farm Meats Is a Very Small, Family-owned 1600 SQ. FT. Meat Processing Facility Located in the Rural Community of Rock City, Illinois. We Are a State-inspected Processing Facility That Offers All Fresh and Frozen Cuts of Beef and Pork in Addition to Value-added Products. We Contract With a Usda-inspected Facility for Our Slaughter Needs and Handle All Further Processing In-house. While We Are Proud of What We Have Been Able to Accomplish in Little Time, Serving More Than 600 Families in Our Area, Our Lack of a Federal Grant of Inspection Is Prohibiting Our Business From Expanding Into Nearby Wisconsin and Iowa. to Receive Usda-fsis Approval, Our Facility Is Lacking Fsis Inspector Office Space and Sanitation Stations for Employees Transitioning Between Work Areas. to Improve Our Food Safety and Prevent Temperature Swings and Humidity as We Increase Our Volume, We Also Propose the Addition of a Walk-in Freezer and Back-up Generator. Lastly, Our Proposal Includes a Label/scale Machine With a Haccp Printer, and Vacuum Stuffer to Ensure That Our Products Are Strictly Compliant With Fsis Guidance on Uniformity, Quality, and Cross Contamination Avoidance.
