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.

These Pigs Keep Breaking Everything

Video: These Pigs Keep Breaking Everything

We found something in bin 12 that no pig farmer ever wants to see. Feed caked up solid in the boot, and when that line is feeding thousands of hogs, you fix it today, not tomorrow. That is just where the day starts. The pigs worked half the gates loose again, so Tork and I are going pen to pen putting them back together. Then it is the barn door repair, rebuilding the wash room, and a walk through a freshly washed barn getting ready for the next group. Pig farming is fixing the same things over and over and keeping the barns running no matter what.
