Reminder: We are no longer taking deer trim until the new seasons open up in September, at which time we will only accept deer from the new seasons.

Processing deer at the Edgewood Locker is not a sideline

Deer processing is an integral part of our business and was the driving force behind the construction of our new facility in 1997.  With over 50 homemade deer products to offer, we are confident you will be 100% satisfied.  Whether you bring your deer in field-dressed or boned-out, we will process your deer in the most efficient and wholesome manner possible.

During the 2021-22 deer season, we processed 3,717 whole deer carcasses.  In addition, our customers brought in over 182,000 lbs of boneless deer to be made into our award winning sausage.  That is over 485,000 lbs of homemade deer products!

Preparing deer for processing

Please download the following Brochure for full delivery & care guidelines for your deer/trim.

  • We reserve the right to refuse any trim not properly handled.  Treating your deer with care will yield a high quality product.
  • When bringing in trim for sausage no fat, hair, or bloody pieces are acceptable.
  • We no longer accept wild game that is bone-in.  It must either be a whole carcass or clean, boneless trimmings.
  • We strongly discourage trim brought in that is pre-ground.
  • Pork trim must be purchased from or processed by the Edgewood Locker.
  • All processed deer must be picked up and paid for in full within ten days after you are notified that it is ready.  Deer not picked up will be subject to a storage fee.
  • When your order is completed we will notify you by text message, phone call, or email.  It is extremely important that you give us your correct phone number, address, and email address when the deer is dropped off.
  • We prefer you bring in your whole carcass deer to us hide on…it does not save you any money by skinning it yourself. In fact, it costs more!
  • Every year, after April 30th, we will no longer accept deer meat from any previous seasons.
  • We WILL NOT accept deer that is in garbage bags, as they are not intended for food use.  You may put your deer trim in food grade containers.  If you need some, we have food grade bags to purchase in the retail store.
