A Kentucky business, Farmstead Butcher Block LLC, is constructing a new processing plant near Central City that is expected to create 25 new jobs. The new facility will process cattle, hogs, lamb, chicken and turkey, as well as deer processing in the fall, reports WBKO News.
The new business is owned by Clifford and Carol Jo Welch. Construction on the facility is underway, and poultry and deer processing is expected to begin in the fall. In addition to its processing capabilities, the facility will also have a retail store that will feature locally sourced meat.
