Mission Statement

CMM’s mission is to provide high quality, nutritious, and diversified meat products for our consumers, while growing our community’s job base as well as market share.

Perspective

Central Maine Meats is a USDA Inspected meat processing plant. We process animals such as cows, pigs, and lambs. The animals are delivered live to our slaughter facility at the Libby Hill Business Park. We harvest the animal and process the hanging meat into consumer ready products, such as steaks, kabobs, ground beef, ground lamb, sausage, and ham. We work with partner firms and distributors seeking to market and utilize our products in a variety of ways. We customize food-based solutions directly for the needs of large distributors, and provide direct services to local customers from our store front.

The walls of each room in the processing plant are covered with galvalume wall panels, ensuring that we meet USDA Standards in having a washable area.
