Over 100,000 Sq Ft of Near-New Food Technology & Food Processing Equipment Heads to Online Auction
A significant opportunity has come to market for food manufacturers, fermentation specialists and equipment resellers as Dickensheet & Associates, Inc. launches the online auction of assets from Meati Foods’ large-scale production facility in Thornton, Colorado.
Located at 14831 Washington Street, Thornton, CO 80023, the sale features newer equipment and support assets from a modern, purpose-built food technology site spanning more than 100,000 square feet. The auction is being conducted on behalf of Adams County, with all items offered first in bulk and then piecemeal, awarded in the highest manner.
Meati Foods built the facility to scale production of whole-food, mycelium-based protein products using controlled fermentation, stainless-steel processing systems and downstream finishing lines. For buyers in food processing, alternative proteins, biotech fermentation and stainless process integration, this represents a rare chance to acquire late-model equipment from an innovative operation.

Key Assets From the Fermentation & Processing Facility
Highlights from the auction include equipment used in large-scale fermentation and food-grade processing, including:
- Stainless-steel controlled fermentation tanks
- Stainless-steel process vessels
- Downstream processing and finishing lines
- Food-grade material handling systems
- Facility support equipment
- Near-new office and facility furniture
The equipment was originally installed to produce mycelium-based steaks, cutlets and breakfast patties, using mushroom root structures grown through advanced fermentation methods rather than traditional livestock production. The scale and specification of the plant make it particularly attractive to food-tech startups, co-packers, fermentation businesses and processors looking to expand capacity with high-quality stainless assets.
With items first offered in bulk and then piecemeal, buyers should carefully evaluate the full plant opportunity before individual lot bidding begins.
