Wilkes Abattoir, LLC

Wilkes Abattoir, LLC provides slaughter and processing services in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, serving farms throughout the northwestern Piedmont region near Winston-Salem.

The facility handles a wide range of livestock and poultry, including cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, alongside chickens, turkeys, and ducks. This range allows small and mid-sized farms to consolidate processing needs in one location rather than working with multiple providers for different species. Both red meat and poultry processing are offered on site, which can simplify scheduling for diversified operations raising several types of animals.

For farmers, homesteaders, and small producers in the surrounding foothills and mountain communities, having a local abattoir that processes both livestock and poultry can reduce transport time and stress on animals. Wilkes Abattoir supports the regional agricultural economy by offering these combined services to producers who might otherwise need to travel farther for USDA-adjacent processing options in the broader western North Carolina farming community.
