1839 Cherokee Meat Co.

This retail-counter operation doubles as a USDA-certified processing plant, offering both everyday meat selections and custom-processing services.

In the retail shop you’ll find fresh cuts of beef, pork, chicken and bison, neatly portioned and ready to go—think steaks, chops, ground meats and house sausages. The team also handles custom processing for whole or partial animals, allowing customers to determine their own cut-sheets, packaging preferences and freezer parcels. The facility’s tie to its community is strong: it supports Cherokee Nation citizen-ranchers, emphasizes sustainable care of livestock, and serves as part of the tribe’s push toward food sovereignty and local agriculture.

Whether you’re shopping for a family dinner, stocking your freezer or exploring whole-animal processing options, this market blends traditional butcher-counter convenience with the scale and transparency of a dedicated meat-processing facility. With both ready-to-buy meat and full-service custom orders, it offers a robust solution for both everyday meals and more involved meat market needs.
