Meat & Poultry

Black River Produce is a Vermont-based distributor of a full range of quality meats including beef, pork, lamb, poultry, game and artisanal smoked meats from a network of over 30 family farms, packing houses and producers. While our focus is, and always will be local, when we do venture beyond this region, it is to bring you top quality meats from family farms with values that echo ours. These farms share a commitment to humanly raised, natural, organic, and regenerative farming practices. We believe these values and practices result in exceptional products for our customers.

In support of this philosophy, in 2005, we invested in a state-of-the-art USDA-approved 50,000 square-foot meat fabrication facility to pack our signature Black River Meats right here in North Springfield, Vermont. That facility now operates as Vermont Packing House and is the exclusive packer of the Black River Meats beef label.

Sourcing the meat that wears our label is not something we take lightly. Whether a farm is in Vermont where all our Black River Meats pork is raised, or the bucolic finger lakes region of New York, where most of our beef is raised, the focus has always been on the family farm. We seek partnerships with farmers who share our deep commitment to transparency in livestock production and to changing our agricultural landscape by producing animals the right way.
