Swanson Meat Co.

Swanson Meat Co. offers livestock and poultry processing services in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving farms throughout the broader Twin Cities region near St. Paul.

The team handles slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, along with poultry processing for chicken, turkey, and duck. This range allows small farms and homesteaders to bring multiple species to one facility rather than coordinating with separate processors for red meat and poultry.

Working with both large livestock and poultry requires different equipment and handling knowledge, and having both under one roof can simplify logistics for diversified farm operations. Whether preparing animals for retail cuts, custom orders, or personal freezer stock, producers in the area have a local option for getting animals processed close to home. Farmers raising mixed flocks and herds may find this consolidated approach useful when planning processing schedules around harvest times or seasonal turnover on the farm.
