A Producer- and Worker-Owned Cooperative
Welcome to Meatsmith Co-op
Meatsmith Co-op is a newly formed organization serving Lafayette, Green, Iowa, Dane, Grant, and Rock Counties which aims to serve farmers, butchers, and consumers, providing a close and transparent connection through the processing of whole-carcass beef, pork, lamb, and goats.
May 2025 update:
We are close to leasing a space in Mount Horeb, WI, where we can start providing meat-processing services. In December 2024, we acquired a mobile slaughter unit (MSU) and all of the processing equipment we will need to begin operations.
Initially, we will offer only custom/exempt services (meat is marked "Not for sale"), but will become an state-inspected facility as soon as possible.
We'll update this page as we get closer to opening the doors and scheduling harvest dates.
June 2026 update:
We have purchased a building in Mt.Horeb! We're putting the finishing touches on the processing rooms and coolers downstairs. The MSU is getting a couple updates and all the processing equipment we own will move into the space.
We've hired our 1st employee!
Livestock Producer Membership is Now Available!
We are inviting small- and medium-scale producers of cattle, hogs, sheep and goats in southern Wisconsin to sign up to become members for a one-time fee of $500. When you become a member, you become an owner of the cooperative, giving you access to preferential scheduling, lower processing fees and profit sharing, as well as a voice in developing cooperative policies and choosing its leadership.
