Full description and what we offer
First Light Deer Processing transforms successful hunts into restaurant-quality meals. Located at 3885 E Frost Rd in Webberville, Michigan, the facility has processed hundreds of deer each season while maintaining strict standards for cleanliness and food safety. Their team understands what Mid-Michigan hunters need: speed during peak season, quality that honors your harvest, and flexibility to match your family's cooking preferences.
Every deer receives immediate attention in a climate-controlled environment with sanitized stainless steel equipment. The systematic labeling keeps your packages organized, and their cold processing methods preserve meat quality from breakdown to final packaging.
Convenient location near prime hunting zones. Webberville sits minutes from hardwood forests and agricultural edges that produce quality Michigan whitetail. The facility's position near I-96 makes it a natural stop for hunters returning from morning and evening hunts, with flexible drop-off hours during the busy season.
