Chico State’s Meats Laboratory Provides Premium Cuts for Thanksgiving Feasts

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many families are looking to elevate their holiday meals with premium cuts of meat.

At Chico State’s Meats Laboratory, students are hard at work providing just that, selling everything from tri-tip and steak to sausage, ham, bacon, and even prime rib.

A Hands-On Experience for Students

The Meats Laboratory is not just a source for high-quality meats, but also a training ground for students studying animal science and meat processing.

“It’s a great opportunity for students to gain practical experience in meat production while also serving the local community,” said Will Anderson, a spokesperson for Chico State.

Students are involved in every step of the process, from butchering the cuts to packaging them for sale.

It’s a hands-on learning experience that ties directly into their academic studies, offering them real-world skills in meat processing that are highly valuable in the agricultural industry.

Serving the Community

Locals have responded enthusiastically to the quality of the products. The laboratory’s holiday meats are a hit, with customers eager to purchase top-tier cuts for their Thanksgiving tables.

“We’ve had a lot of repeat customers this season,” Anderson noted. “People appreciate knowing where their meat comes from and that it’s produced with care by students in the community.”

In addition to offering premium meats, the Meats Laboratory also gives back to the community by educating the public about sustainable farming practices and ethical meat production.

For those still in search of the perfect centerpiece for their holiday meal, the Chico State Meats Laboratory is offering an excellent selection of premium meats, made with care and expertise.
