Example of Food Sovereignty: The Osage Nation is Minimizing Food Insecurity with Meat Processing Plant

Learn about Osage Nation’s Butcher House Meats, a 19,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, featured in the video on the left. The facility is designed to address food insecurity for the Osage people. Located in Hominy, Oklahoma, it was built to address the food system breakdown that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Butcher House Meats opened in 2021 and is a state-and federally-inspected facility. The facility is designed and approved for cattle, bison, hogs, and seasonal deer. 

In addition to meat processing, the facility provides a retail counter for customers to purchase meat products.  The retail counter offers beef, pork, and bison as available.  Butcher House Meats proudly coordinates with the Osage Nation Ranch to create an avenue for Osage beef and bison to be available through the retail counter. 

Butcher House Meats is open to the public.
