Small Scale Shared Use Slaughter Facility – NCDA&CS

Organization:

North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services - CAI

Amount:

$49,700.00

Program Area:

Open Grants Program

County of Applicant:

Wake

Year:

2005

Description:

The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to fund a study to determine the feasibility of constructing a small scale shared use slaughter facility. The study will examine the demand for the facility, prepare a preliminary design for the facility that complies with applicable regulations, and estimate the cost of constructing the facility. Calls to the NCDA from consumers seeking locally produced, all-natural poultry and rabbit meat have increased. Currently, slaughter capacity is insufficient to keep up with consumer demand for these products.
