The Berry Center (Henry County) always strives to have as much direct community impact as possible. They are beginning to develop a supply chain of local farmers that will raise and supply Rose Veal according to their standards. In addition, they are working with Trackside Butchers to serve as the meat processor for Home Place Meats, Rose Veal. the program is just beginning and there continues to be ongoing consultation on proper cutting techniques, inventory systems, and consistency. This program is just beginning, but Home Place Meats, Rose Veal will be the only veal program in the state; an untapped niche market that could be fruitful for the local farmers and Trackside Butchers.
