Our Story

Persimmon Mountain Meats provides grass-fed, pasture-raised beef from cattle raised right here in Afton and Covesville, VA. We are committed to producing exceptional meat for our local community, emphasizing transparency, sustainability, and quality for families and neighbors who care about how their food is raised.

Why us?

We pride ourselves on our commitment to regenerative farming practices and  intentionally graze our herd to provide access to the highest quality forage for them, simulating  natural grazing patterns of  herds that have traditionally replenished grasslands for millennia. This allows them to have the nutrition they need for health and vigor without depleting the land and soil that provides it. 

Many pastures in VA have been planted with fescue for decades and this grass really only thrives in cool season and not particularly nutritionally significant. We balance this by planting diverse warm-season forage for them including buckwheat,  sorghum-sudan grass, sunn hemp, other legumes and more and this provides them with a dynamic diet. We value their health and the health of the land and these guiding principles allow us to offer you delicious nutritious grass fed beef that is rooted in our community and the landscape.
