Collapse ▲There are multiple Mobile Processing Units available for rental in NC. Stokes County may not be the closest MPU for you. The Center for Environmental Farming Systems has a map of MPUs available for rent in NC.
All renters must attend a processing training prior to renting the unit for the first time. The next training will be held September 22, 2023 at NC A&T University’s Farm Pavilion in Greensboro. The training will begin at 9:00 a.m. Registration is available at go.ncsu.edu/poultryprocessing
Users that have failed to cancel a reservation, or failed to pick up the unit when reserved without communicating with the Extension office in the past 12 months will be required to submit a $25 deposit to hold future reservations.
On this page, you will find helpful information about the mobile processing unit and the rental process. Processing demonstration videos can be found at the bottom of the page. Rental fees are $50.00 for rentals up to 4 days. The unit is available for rental to anyone who has completed the training course on a first come, first serve basis. It is NOT only available to Stokes County Residents. Available dates can be viewed and reservation requests can be submitted at go.ncsu.edu/StokesMPU.
All reservations on or after December 1st, 2023 will have a rental cost of $75 for a four day rental period.
