BEGGS, Oklahoma – The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Looped Square Meat Processing Facility hosted its ribbon cutting ceremony on December 3.

Community and tribal dignitaries along with a long list of special guests gathered for the official celebration of the opening of the meat plant.

The retail space opened to the public officially on Dec. 6. Winter hours will be Monday-Friday 10:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.

The retail space was stocked with beef that was “Raised on the Rez” and prepared by the staff of the facility. Other items included pork, chicken, condiments and other frozen goods that were supplied by various vendors.

MCN Director of Agriculture and Natural Resources Trent Kissee and Plant Manager Grant Norem have hired and trained eight employees who will work in the plant with hopes to create more jobs by the beginning of the year.

“There’s a lot that we still have learn about the demand in the area,” Kissee said. “We want to keep our prices competitive.”

The 25,000 sq. ft. facility contains the capacity to run up to 125 head of cattle or other animals, including an area for deer, a test kitchen and more.

The space will not be able to be fully utilized until the plant is fully staffed with about 25 employees, according to Kissee.

USDA General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Janie Hipp commended the Nation on the quick progress of the facility.

According to Kendall Carter with Thompson Construction, LLC, the contract builders for the plant, the project made record timing completion in such a short window.

The initial groundbreaking took place in early October and finished just passing the one-year mark for the project.

Carter claimed weather and COVID-19 were extreme difficulties during the construction.

Kissee said everyone involved in the project has been dedicated to making this day happen.

“The facility embodies sovereignty and security,” Kissee said.

The Looped Square Meat Co. can be found on Facebook and contacted at: loopedsquaremeatco@muscogeenation.com or by phone at: 918-549-2922.
