5 Pillar Meats is investing $1.7 million in order to establish a new location in Right to Work Farmville, Virginia. As a result of this, the company will also create 12 new jobs for the area. So this is excellent news!

From Area Development Magazine:

“We are happy to have the opportunity to offer this service to small and large producers alike who have had limited access to USDA inspected processing of their livestock Now, both will be able to market to the public. […] Families, local restaurants, hotels, and others can enjoy locally raised, harvested, and processed meat/meat products. We look forward to serving our community.” […]

“I thank 5 Pillar Meats for their investment in Farmville and in southside Virginia livestock producers. […] This is the type of project that the AFID grant program was designed for as it creates rural jobs, encourages economic development, and promotes agriculture, Virginia’s largest private industry.” […]

“We heard from numerous livestock producers that more meat processing facilities are needed throughout the state. […] The addition of 5 Pillar Meats will provide that service for area livestock producers, while also creating jobs, and providing another protein resource for Farmville and Prince Edward County.”
