Whole Beef and Hogs for Your Freezer and COVID-19 precautions

Now is the time to put a whole beef or hog in your freezer. We have sourced some very good half Angus half Japanese Wagyu beef. We also have very good top hogs.

Safety is our utmost concern here for everyone that works in our shop. We have adopted a stay in your vehicle policy. All customers must remain in their vehicle and call us when they are here, and then we bring your products out to you. When we interact with customers we wearing masks and gloves. Burks Farm, as always, stays very clean and sanitized, but we are taking further steps at this time by using stronger bleach concentrations, and washing surfaces throughout the day.

Supporting Medical Research

Burks Farm is proud to participate with multiple research facilities for forensic testing, medical research, and specialized medical training. Doctors from VCU have been coming for over a year now harvesting pig bladders. They have created a machine that they hook these bladders up to and they can watch the bladder function as if it is in the animal or human. First time in history. They have already published 2 papers on their findings and they think the possibilities of what they can learn are endless. About 8 years ago we had another doctor from VCU come and harvest the largest nerve in the body to attempt to discover new ways for nerves to regenerate.
