Short Creek Farm, a producer of meat products, is raising funds on MainVest. The farm makes high-quality meat products, including sausages and salami, using pastured pork and grass-fed beef. The company makes products using its own meat and meat purchased from other family farms. Jeffrey Backer and David Viola founded Short Creek Farm in April 2015. The proceeds of the current crowdfunding round, with a minimum goal of $200,000 and a maximum goal of $250,000, will be used to open a new 6,000 square-feet USDA-inspected facility. Short Creek Farm plans to continue to market its own farm-raised meat and produce a new line of lower-cost bacon, sausages, and salami using heritage breed pork sourced from the Midwest.
