Support Local Agriculture With Grass-Finished Beef From Catawba

The Catawba Sustainability Center is offering grass-finished beef raised at Virginia Tech’s 377-acre farm in Roanoke County using regenerative grazing practices that support environmental health and local farmers.

Through its Grass-Fed Beef Partnership, the center is helping strengthen the regional food system by working directly with local farmers, paying a premium for sustainably raised calves, and finishing them on pasture using adaptive grazing methods that restore soil, improve water quality, and promote biodiversity.

The result is nutrient-dense beef produced without growth hormones and with minimal antibiotic use.

Purchase options include:

  • Individual cuts available locally in Roanoke and Blacksburg at LEAP’s Community Store and EATS Natural Foods in Blacksburg
  • Convenient bundles with ground beef, roasts, and more
  • Bulk options, including quarter, half, or whole beef

Whether you are stocking your freezer or picking up a few cuts for dinner, this is a chance to support sustainable agriculture, university research, and the local economy.
