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 updated:
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.
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.
