Update as of 5/1/2025

Dear Valued Producer,

Apologies for the duplication of this email. Due to an error in the original fee structure, we have reissued the corrected version. Thank you for your understanding.”

As we prepare for the busy season ahead, we want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Your trust in Meatworks and The Livestock Institute of Southern New England means the world to us.

As you know, the past two years have brought about steady increases in the cost of doing business for everyone, from spices and packaging materials to general operating expenses. In response, we have made some updates to our 2025 Fee Structure. We’ve worked hard to keep all price increases to a minimum while ensuring that we maintain the high quality and service you expect from us.

What’s New in 2025:

  • Updated Pricing: Our new pricing structure reflects modest increases that help offset rising costs in materials and processing. CORRECTION ATTACHED. Click HERE to review.
  • Cancellation Policy: Appointments canceled within 21 days of the scheduled date and No-Shows will now incur a cancellation/no-show fee. However, if you reschedule within 45 days, those fees will be waived. Click HERE to review.
  • Return Policy: All product issues, including damaged packaging, must be reported to us within 24 hours of pickup to be eligible for review or credit.  Click HERE to review.
  • Sausage Flavor Return!: Back by popular demand. Maple flavoring. Yes, that’s right, maple. Your feedback matters, and we heard you loud and clear.  Timing is everything, and making sausage takes time, slowing down production.  This will be reviewed during our peak season.
  • Smoked Jowls: We know how important value-added opportunities are to our producers, and we’re always listening. Smoked jowls are back to help you make the most of every animal.
  • Conventional Cure: To be more efficient, the smoke team considered phasing out the conventional cure.  While flavoring, whether through spices, cure, and smoke, adds value, it also requires substantial time to clean and transition between batches.  This slows down production, particularly during peak season.  However, we recognize how important these value-added products are to our producers, and we remain committed to supporting your diverse needs.
  • New Cut Sheets: All cut sheets have been updated and will be available on our website on or before May 1st, http://www.meatworkswestport.com/cutting-instructions/.
  • New Beef Cut Sheet Selections: We’re also excited to introduce three new beef cut sheets designed to make your and your customers’ selections easier:

We encourage you to review the updated documents and reach out with any questions. Our team is always here to help you find the best options for your product and market.

These updates are essential for keeping Meatworks strong and sustainable, and we truly appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to grow together.
