Why farmers trust us with their label

When you co-pack with Havenwood, your name goes on the package — so we treat it like our own. Quality and attention to detail are the whole job.

State-inspected, every time
Everything runs through our Minnesota state-inspected facility. Nothing leaves without passing inspection.
We'd put our name on it
We hold your product to the same bar as our own Havenwood Stamp — the right handling, done right.
Attention to the detail
Cut to your spec and sealed in clean, retail-ready packaging. The small things are the whole thing.
Traceable end to end
Every package ties back to the animal and the run. That's the actual record we keep — not marketing.

What we offer

Everything is cryovac / vacuum-sealed in clean retail packaging. We can take you from a live animal all the way to fresh cuts, ready-to-eat and smoked products.

Harvest under inspection
Bring live animals — we process from live to finished product under state inspection.
Cryovac & vacuum packaging
Automatic packaging into clean, clear, retail-ready vacuum-sealed packages.
Fresh retail cuts
Cut and packaged for retail. (We don't do whole primals/loins — finished retail packaging.)
Ready-to-eat & smoked
Sausage, brats, jerky, snack sticks, bacon, hams and more — our recipes or yours.
Labeling & MDA/USDA submissions
Use your labels or we design a custom one, and handle the label & submission forms for approval.
Pickup & delivery
We pick up your animals and deliver the finished product.
