5 Pillar Meat

5 Pillar Meats is a family-owned meat processing facility in Farmville, Virginia, founded by the Abdus-Sabur family as the next chapter in their longstanding commitment to agriculture and community. The family’s agricultural roots began with Abdus-Sabur Homestead, a small farm producing fresh produce, dairy products, and poultry for their family and surrounding community. As the farm grew, they expanded into honey and lamb production under Abdus-Sabur Farms, eventually establishing Alec’s Acres to focus specifically on raising lamb.When disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the shortage of accessible meat processing capacity for small and regional farmers, the Abdus-Sabur family saw an opportunity to help. They created 5 Pillar Meats to provide their own farm and other Virginia livestock producers with a place where animals could be harvested and processed under USDA inspection, helping producers bring locally raised meat to market and keep more of the food supply chain within the region.Today, 5 Pillar Meats specializes in beef, lamb, and goat processing and offers both custom and USDA-inspected processing for producers serving personal, retail, and wholesale markets. The facility also offers traditional and Halal slaughter and processing, along with customized cutting and packaging options. A retail store at the front of the facility carries fresh and frozen products processed on-site as well as products sourced from other local producers.At the heart of 5 Pillar Meats is a commitment to relationships and community. By increasing access to USDA-inspected processing in Central Virginia, the family is helping create opportunities for livestock producers to reach local customers while building a stronger and more resilient regional food system.

4P Foods is proud to partner with 5 Pillar Meats and support their work connecting Virginia livestock producers with the processing infrastructure needed to bring locally raised meat to our communities.
