Ferdinand Processing & FP Meats Catering

Since 1988, Ferdinand Processing, Inc. has been owned and operated by Paul and Paula Gogel. For the last 21 years, FP Meats has been providing custom beef and pork processing, venison processing and retailing our fresh and processed meat products. Each year we experiment and try new items to better the processing plant.

We started FP Meats Catering in 2003 and have expanded our services to not just weddings and graduations, but for anniversaries, family picnics, first communions, holiday dinner, etc. You name it, we do it! If you want to enjoy a nice outside gathering with friends and family, having a hog roast is a wonderful idea. Paul with bring his cooker on site and roast the hog for you if wanted.

Not only do we process and sell meat, we have a display of Holland Grills and Liberty Safes for purchase. These items are great for personal use and can be wonderful holiday, birthday or even wedding gifts. Stop in and look at the grills and safes that are on display. We have catalogs and prices listed in store. Call for more information.

Every year we gather with many Indiana meat packers and attend the annual Indiana Meat Packers Association Convention. We enter several of our products, smoked bologna, smoked bacon, bbq ribs, and fresh bratwursts, in to categories to be judged. Over the years, we have won several awards for these items. Our number one winner and seller is the smoked bologna. The meat convention is a great time to catch up with friends, learn new ideas, updated on new rules and regulations, attend a vendor show, and enjoy the entertainment provided by the convention.

We no longer are taking Farm Dressed beef or pork (whole carcass). You can still bring in pork hams/shoulders/bellies to get cured and smoked. Our slaughter days are Tuesdays only and our retail store is only open Thursday, Friday & Saturday. We are open Monday - Saturday for freezer pick ups ONLY.

Credit cards and debit cards are now accepted at FP Meats.
