Our Commercial Meat Grinding Kit is available to rent!

367 NC Highway 58 S, Unit A, Trenton, NC 28585

Thanks to the Niche meat working group we were able to secure a commercial meat grinding kit with a butcher saw.

This purchase came about as needs assessments were done in the area and we received information that this equipment was needed to help farmers process their meat in a more efficient manner with the proper equipment, along with saving drive time to further away rentable units.

We are excited to house the Commercial Meat Grinding Kit here in Jones County!
