We hold ourselves to high standards. Every step in our processing leads to one thing: tender, high-quality meat for you. Our top priority is cleaning, cutting and processing livestock and game to the most exacting specifications. This attention to detail continues in tagging, labeling and taking inventory. And as always: safe, clean, and completely transparent processing.
Drop-off times for processing are either 2 – 4 p.m. the day before scheduled processing or 9 a.m. the day of scheduled processing.
During the dry aging process, we hang our beef for as long as possible before cutting. Smaller or leaner beef carcasses are cut within day five of slaughter. There are never two different beeves on our cutting tables at any time. Organs are cut and packaged the day of slaughter. To ensure all organs we process continue to be safe food, only the healthiest are kept.

Unavailable This Season
This past year has been incredibly successful for 1839 Cherokee Meat Co. in obtaining and performing on federal grants, which are vital in our mission of food sovereignty for Cherokee Nation. The progress we are making towards our mission and the execution of these grants has us currently operating at full compacity. As a result, we will not be offering deer processing for the 2024 hunting season. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to bringing the service back at a later date.
