Established in 1999 under the name J&B Meats, and later known as Countryside Meats, we have built a legacy rooted in quality, integrity, and personalized service. Today, as Callahan Meats, we carry that tradition forward with renewed purpose and a state-of-the-art facility.

Achieving USDA certification represents a significant milestone in our journey—reinforcing our deep commitment to product safety, processing excellence, and customer confidence.

Recent facility upgrades have transformed Callahan Meats into a cutting-ege processing plant equipped with the latest technology. Our enhancements include new smokers, grinders, slicers, and an automated rollstock vacuum packaging system. We’ve also installed advanced HVAC systems throughout the facility to ensure full compliance with USDA’s stringent sanitary and operational standards.

These improvements not only elevate our production capabilities but also allow us to offer both USDA-inspected slaughter services along with ongoing custom processing options. Whether you're a walk-in-customer, a local farmer, or a wholesale customer, you can count on us for flexibility, consistency, and uncompromising quality.
