Agri Beef Co., producer of premium Northwest beef brands Snake River Farms, Double R Ranch and St. Helens, has expanded its Washington Beef processing facility in Toppenish, Wash., to include a grind operation. The new grind facility is co-located with the company's beef production facility for efficiency. Agri Beef will now grind its own retail ground beef rolls (also known as ground beef chubs), bulk ground beef rolls and bulk ground beef patties.
The Northwest location of the combined facility allows frequent deliveries and consistent supply. It will also ensure shorter lead times and a fresher product with faster turnaround for increased shelf life. The new grind facility includes a two step metal detection process and spiral freezer.

"Many of our customers requested that we offer Agri Beef produced grinds and we are proud to fulfill that request. We know that retail and foodservice customers will find our ground beef rolls and patties consistent with Agri Beef's commitment to high quality."
