Turnkey USDA-Inspected Facility – Fully Equipped and Ready to Operate
Trail Ridge Cattle Co. was launched as a small-scale specialty food venture but operated for only a short period of time. The business is not currently operating due to a strategic shift in focus by the owners, who were simultaneously managing multiple business ventures and chose to reallocate their time and resources elsewhere. The closure was not the result of financial distress, market demand, or facility limitations.
Because of the limited operating period, no formal profit and loss statements are available. This opportunity is best suited for a buyer seeking a turnkey production facility rather than a legacy brand with historical financials.
The primary value lies in the USDA-inspected facility and building, which is fully permitted and ready to resume operations immediately. While previously used for beef jerky production, the space is highly adaptable and can support a wide range of food production uses—or be repurposed for non-food manufacturing or commercial operations, subject to buyer needs.
This is an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur or established operator looking to bypass the time and cost of USDA approvals and step directly into a compliant, ready-to-use facility with significant operational flexibility.
As mentioned, the facility was previously used for beef jerky manufacturing and is designed for high-efficiency food production. Though not currently in operation, all assets remain in place, offering a seamless opportunity for a new owner to restart production immediately or expand into additional food product lines.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a complete, ready-to-launch beef jerky production business with everything included — real estate, USDA-inspected food production facility, recipes, production equipment, packaging inventory, and brand assets.
