The farmer usually will transport the animal(s) to the processing facility. Ownership of the animal is transferred to you prior to it being slaughtered. You contact the slaughtering/ processing facility to tell them to process and package the meat to your specifications. You pay the processing facility and make arrangements to pick up your meat. This can be done at any Custom "Not for Sale" facility. You cannot sell this meat to anyone else. It is for your consumption ● Purchase meat inspected at the point of slaughter. Any further processing (smoked hams, sausage, etc.) must also take place at an inspected (USDA) facility or State licensed. (USDA meat can be sold in Iowa and outside of Iowa.) (State inspected meat can only be sold within the state of Iowa). ● Exceptions - Some unique animals (such as buffalo, game birds, rabbit, and ostrich) do not have to be inspected at slaughter but they must be slaughtered in a licensed facility. They can be processed at a State facility and still be available for interstate sales. Inspections are voluntary and at the expense of the requesting party.

Certified organic producers of organic agricultural products operate under strict organic standards. Commercial or synthetic herbicides and insecticides are prohibited for use on organic farms. Fields must be free from all prohibited synthetic fertilizers and pesticides for 3 years immediately preceding harvest of organic crops. Organic producers may use compost and specific mined mineral products on their fields. The use of animal manure is permitted although the timing of its application is regulated Animals raised organically cannot be given hormones or prohibited drugs and must be fed 100% organic feed. A producer's compliance with these and other regulations is verified by on site inspections. The inspection report and additional producer records are reviewed by the certification organization. Producers determined to be in compliance with organic standards are awarded a certificate from the certification organization, which is valid for one year. Manufacturers of organic food products are subject file:////Grand/public/IPO/For%20Margaret/Meat%20Directory/www.agriculture.state.ia.us/meaticons.html (1 of 2)7/25/2007 2:11:15 PM Meat Directory Icons to strict organic processing and handling standards as well. Customers of operations claiming to be certified may ask to see an organic certificate to verify this claim. Organic, Exempt - Only those operations grossing $5,000 or less from the sale of organic products are exempt from organic certification. However, exempt operations must comply with state organic regulations and must file for an exemption with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Customers of operations making an organic claim under this exemption may ask to see the exemption issued by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. No Drugs Used - No drugs were used on the livestock. Range-Fed - These animals are allowed access to grass pastures or grass feed lots.
