Processing
Lorentz Meats works with partners of all sizes and types. Whether you are a local farmer with a few animals for yourself or you are a direct marketer looking for a processing partner or your branded program is bigger than your current processor, Lorentz Meats can help.

Direct Marketers
If you are interested in Direct Marketing, please contact Customer Service for scheduling, basic packaging/labeling requirements and cutting instructions. Also, see the Niche Meat page for useful information.
Branded Programs
For new or existing regional brands, please contact our Product Manager. Also, see the articles available here.
- Existing programs: if you have outgrown your current processor in capacity or certification, we have a product development team to help you transition. This is always harder than you would hope. With our experience, we can help come up with realistic solutions and time lines.
- New programs: A successful branded program will require 1,000 plus beef per year. If you can’t envision this for your program, please see the Direct Marketing information.
