Donations of meat (venison, pork and beef)

We have an abundance of calls about donations of Venison (deer) meat and 4H animal donations. While we would love to be able to give donated meat away in our Free Market Pantry to our Clients, we must adhere to the guidelines provided by MDARD:

Venison must be processed by a MDARD-licensed facility and be properly labeled.

Beef and pork must be processed at a facility where the meat has been USDA inspected.

The meat must be properly labeled with: The Cut of the meat, weight, name and address of responsible party, and have the USDA seal of inspection.
