Knightstown Locker

Knightstown Locker is a long-established country meat market specializing in beef, pork, and deer processing located in Knightstown, Indiana. They provide high-quality products and custom processing services.

Whole carcass deer are accepted for processing from youth season through mid-December, and clean boneless venison is accepted in food-grade bags or totes for further processing into products.
