Happy National Farmers Day! 🌾

Here’s the truth: Blue Ridge Meats wouldn’t exist without our local farmers. Period.

And we get it, because a lot of us are farmers too. We know the early mornings, the long days, and the weather that never quite cooperates. We know what it takes to raise an animal the right way, and that’s exactly why we treat every one that comes through our doors with the same care you gave it.

Want to show them some love beyond today? Shop local. Buy your beef, pork, and lamb straight from the farmers in your community, stop by the farmers market, and ask where your food comes from. Every dollar you spend close to home keeps family farms running and keeps that money right here in the Valley.

Farmers keep our Valley thriving and keep food on tables across this country. To every one of you who trusts us with your animals: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re proud to be part of your story. 💚

Drop a 🚜 in the comments to show some love for the farmers in your life!

Blue Ridge Meats made the college paper! 📰

Clara Belle Beck, niece of our owners Doug and Lois Aylestock, wrote about us in The Blue Banner at UNC Asheville. She remembered the fresh bacon, delicious summer sausage, and always knowing where her food came from, and called it "a labor of love and a community effort."

Proud of you, Clara! Read it here 👇

I was nearly late for my first class on Monday. I had spent an unnaturally long time curling my hair. I was already annoyed by the antidepressant-withdrawal brain fog overcoming me, the grievances my family greeted me with over the phone that morning and the way my “new” shoes from Goodwill comp...
