Triple J. Angus Farms in Tazewell County awarded seed grant
A new business, Triple J Angus Farms LP in Tazewell County, Va. is by operated Grace Fuller along with her husband, John; and mother-in-law, Judy.
Triple J Angus Farms LP is a recent recipient of a $10,000 Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority (VCEDA) Seed Capital Matching Grant. Seed capital grants are funded from regional funds received by VCEDA which are paid by the natural gas industry, according to the development authority.
"Triple J Angus Farms LP offers the opportunity for people in our region, as well as for tourists in the area, to purchase locally-sourced beef and other locally produced goods," said Jonathan Belcher, VCEDA executive director/general counsel. "The business projects three full-time employees and three part-time employees within five years."
The beef sold is grown on the family farm where cattle are grass fed and grain-finished, resulting in a high quality meat product, development authority officials said. Beef sold is USDA-approved and no growth hormones are used. The Fullers stay up to date on industry trends and Grace Fuller noted they practice regenerative farming which rotates their cows among three fields and uses less chemicals for fertilization.
Triple J offers beef by the pound or by the cut — from hamburger, sirloin and ribeyes to filets, beef tips, cube steak and roasts.
In the future, plans are to grow the business to also sell baked goods (breads, pies, cookies and cakes), as well as Home Remedy Salves from locally grown herbs; sugar and salt scrubs (exfoliating treatment for skin); homemade vanilla flavoring; and handmade wooden cutting boards.
Beef is sold by appointment from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and the store, located at 3288 Kents Ridge Road, is open on Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
