Thompson (D-MS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the Biden-Harris Administration is investing $508,784 through the first round of the Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program (MPPEP) to Home Place Pastures, LLC. Home Place Pastures currently owns and operates an USDA inspected slaughter and processing facility in the middle of its farming operation, which produces grass-fed beef and pastured pork. Home Place Pastures runs an established weekly distribution chain to restaurants, schools, hospitals, and retail accounts in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. The company also sells direct to consumers through their website, monthly box subscribers, on-farm restaurant and butcher shop, and farmers markets. With this award, Home Place will substantially increase cold storage and processing, allowing them to significantly expand their business while also adding value to small family farms by providing a premium reliable market for pasture raised hogs.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T03:24:37Z
