Double L Meat Processing, Jonesville, VA

Double L Meat Processing is located in the central Appalachian region near the small town of Jonesville in southwestern Virginia. When you walk in their front door, they greet you like family and are eager to take care of you. They started out processing beef and pork under USDA FSIS inspection just one day per week and have now increased inspected processing to five days per week with support from a USDA AMS Meat Poultry Inspection Readiness Grant (MPIRG) they received in 2021.
