FAQ

Can I buy retail meat from Piedmont Custom Meats?

No. Piedmont Custom Meats does not buy or sell meat; it processes customer-owned cattle, swine, sheep, and goats.

Can Craven Deer Processing take a deer that has not been skinned or gutted?

Yes, its field-to-freezer service accepts skin-on, guts-in deer during muzzleloader and regular gun seasons. Bow-season drop-offs requiring the facility to skin and gut are listed as an avoid case.
