The Virginia Tech Meat Center
The Virginia Tech Meat Center strives to support the School of Animal Sciences, the University, and the Commonwealth of Virginia by facilitating teaching, research, and extension. Through practical hands-on instruction, service learning, continuous research and outreach events, the Virginia Tech Meat Center promotes a safe and educational environment for all. While the primary purpose is for teaching, the VT meat center operates as a fully functional, state inspected processing plant, offering a unique educational experience to student employees who participate in animal processing, fabrication, sanitation, and retail sales. Due to the nature of this program, we are able to produce high quality meat.

The Preston Benfield Band
Growing up in the hills of East Tennessee Preston Benfield was exposed to all different genres of music. He started playing bluegrass and country music at an early age in his hometown of Roan Mountain. In the last several years Preston has found the right combination of band members, Jonathan Grindstaff (lead guitar), Drew Blackwell (Bass) and Chase Blackwell (Drums). The band members grew up just right down the road from each other and always wanted to form a band that was all about the music. Together the Preston Benfield Band has evolved into a musical style that encompasses that of country, southern rock, blues and even a hint of bluegrass. The Preston Benfield band has been making its way to a variety of venues and just keep gaining in popularity. With a show that is packed with nonstop real authentic music that is true to its roots. The original songs even reveal the bands true commitment to keeping the sound of traditional music alive.
