USDA Inspected

We are a federally inspected USDA processing facility here in Falmouth. Every day, we have inspectors on site making sure the livestock that come here is humanely handled. Our facility was built in 2003-2004 and features a cooling system that is continuously monitored to make sure temperatures are constant.

Years of Experience

Ebels Meat Processing is family owned and operated; you’ll always see family actively involved in plant operations. Additionally, our meat cutters have combined experience of over 200 years, ensuring steaks and roasts are trimmed and cut to your expectations.

Freshness

For quality, all products are vacuum sealed with our roll stock technology, it increases shelf life to preserve the meat until you’re ready to enjoy it, for up to two years. Meat Processing of beef, pork, deer, lamb, bison, and elk is available at our Falmouth facility.

Deer Processing

For standard cuts, processing is priced at $139 for the 2024 Season. We have over 40 years of experience processing venison, summer sausage and snack sticks. You will get your own fresh cuts back. Please note that if you order smoked meats, it takes additional time to get your venison back. We will call you as soon as your order is complete. Once we call you, we appreciate prompt pick up of your meat to make room for other customer orders. Our roll stock film sets us apart from other processors! This results in increased shelf life which leads to a fresher product for our customers and reduces the amount of product that needs to be tossed because it surpassed an expiration date. Deer Processing is available during the entire hunting season in Falmouth & Reed City. After hours and Sunday drop off available in Falmouth only, follow the signs.
