Mighty Fine Poultry Processing, LLC will use a $220,000 Project Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program to develop infrastructure supporting local poultry producers in Michigan. Specifically, the two-year award will support the awardee in designing market and kitchen facilities, as well as distribution channels, for an USDA-inspected poultry processing facility situated between three cities. The facility aims to provide fee-for-service slaughter and processing options for independent poultry producers while establishing an on-site retail market and distribution network to enhance financial viability. Funds will cover detailed design work, food safety planning, site planning documentation, and conducting an independent feasibility study. The award aims to strengthen local and regional food systems through expanded access to USDA inspection services and local market opportunities for small poultry producers in line with the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program's goals.
