In the quiet town of Bridger, Montana, nestled within the stunning South-Central Montana landscape, Sabina Giovetti and her husband Shane have cultivated a unique business that brings high-quality, locally sourced meat to tables across the region. Carbon County Meats, LLC is more than just a USDA-certified processing facility—it’s a family-operated endeavor dedicated to community, quality, and trust.
Sabina and Shane started Carbon County Meats in 2021 as a custom-exempt meat processing facility, just after the challenging COVID-19 era. Their small facility quickly became a hub for local livestock producers, processing animals for farm-to-table distribution and personal use. The overwhelming demand prompted an expansion, and in 2023, they achieved USDA certification—a move that now allows their processed meats to reach tables across all 50 states.
Carbon County Meats is a true family business. Sabina proudly describes her children’s presence at the facility, especially during school breaks, adding a warm, authentic touch to the operation. This transparency extends to their customers. Visitors can tour the facility, from the corrals to the processing floor, ensuring full trust in their processes. Their meticulous tagging system guarantees that livestock owners receive their specific animals back, processed exactly to their specifications.
Operating in rural Montana has presented logistical challenges, especially in shipping. Sabina explains their ongoing efforts to expand their shipping reach while maintaining product quality. Despite being located away from major postal hubs, they’ve managed efficient two-day shipping within certain regions, continually refining this service.
Carbon County Meats is more than a business—it’s a community pillar. Sabina and Shane’s dedication to providing quality meat is matched by their passion for fostering connections with local producers and customers. Whether it’s hosting facility tours, engaging in local programs, or offering discounts to veterans, their efforts enrich Bridger and beyond.
For Sabina, Montana is not just where she works; it’s where her heart is. She loves the rural lifestyle, raising goats, canning, and gardening. Sharing the Montana wilderness and values with her children has been a defining part of her life.
As Carbon County Meats continues to grow, Sabina is optimistic about the future. Their focus on community, quality, and transparency ensures a steady upward trajectory. With new ideas in the pipeline, Carbon County Meats is set to make an even greater impact.
If you’re in the Bridger area or looking for high-quality, locally sourced meat with a personal touch, Carbon County Meats is your go-to. Sabina and her team welcome you to explore their offerings and experience the difference of locally processed meat.
