Virginia Verified Beef Processor
We are a certified processor for the Virginia Verified Beef Program!
We believe in the mission of fresh, clean, and locally sourced food.
What is Verified Virginia Beef? Established by the Virginia General Assembly in 2024 and certified by the Virginia Cattlemen's Association, the Virginia Verified Beef label guarantees your cattle were bred, born, raised, and processed right here in Virginia. It's more than a label — it's proof of your commitment to quality and a direct connection to consumers who want to support local. Partner with us and put Virginia's best on the shelf.

Why should I grade my beef? Give your beef a competitive edge with official USDA grading. Our facility offers grading in the three most recognized grades Prime, Choice, and Select giving producers a powerful marketing tool that builds consumer confidence and sets your product apart on the shelf.
Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World (AGW)
A Greener World is a nonprofit that administers one of the most trusted animal welfare labels in the country. Certified farms are audited annually, guaranteeing animals are raised outdoors on pasture or range for their entire lives.
Why AGW ? Our staff and facility are Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World, and we work hard every day to earn that. We chose AGW because we believe certification should mean something — not just a one-time approval, but an ongoing commitment backed by annual on-farm audits and strict third-party standards. We know these animals represent your livelihood and your care. From the moment they arrive, we treat them with the same respect you do — because that's what they deserve, and because it's the right way to do business. AGW gives both you and your customers the confidence that every step of the process, including ours, meets the highest standard of animal welfare.
