Johnston's Locker Plant, Inc. (Monticello)
Not affiliated with Johnston's Locker Plant, Inc.
THE QUICK READ
Johnston's Locker Plant in Monticello, Florida is a small, USDA-certified facility that handles custom slaughter and processing of cattle, hogs, goats, and sheep — turning whole animals into retail cuts, smoked sausage, and country-cured meats. Felix and Alice Johnston founded the business in 1926 as a neighborhood meat locker (a cold-storage rental back when most homes had no refrigeration), and it ran through three generations of the Johnston family before the Figueroa family took ownership in late 2024. Today the plant serves livestock producers across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, doubling as a regional distribution hub that connects ranchers within a 100-mile radius to local buyers.
