Wells, Jenkins & Wells

Wells, Jenkins & Wells provides livestock and poultry processing services in Forest City, North Carolina, serving farms throughout the western part of the state near Asheville. The operation handles slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, along with dedicated poultry processing for chickens, turkeys, and ducks. This range of species means the facility can support diverse small farms and homesteads that raise more than one type of animal without needing to seek out separate processors.

For farmers managing mixed operations, having a single processor capable of handling both red meat and poultry can simplify planning around harvest schedules and seasonal turnover. Whether working with a backyard flock, a small cattle herd, or a mix of sheep and goats, producers in the region have a local option for getting animals processed close to home.

Details on scheduling, capacity, and specific processing options are best confirmed directly with the provider, as offerings can shift with demand and season.
