Wellfarm

The New Way
to Do Animal Agriculture

Wellfarm Co. was created because we believe that animal health, human health, and environmental health are interrelated to a point where our industry needs to change in order to adapt to strains on each of these respective entities.

We are comprised of 2 separate and equally important entities: Wellfarm Vets and Wellfarm Meats. Firstly, Wellfarm Vets provide livestock herd health services to Virginia and West Virginia with a one health approach. Secondly, Wellfarm Meats is a startup in the works — it will take time, but we will eventually open a mid-size meat-processing plant in southwest Virginia that promotes all entities of the one health movement.

Altogether, our goal is to serve animal producers in Virginia and West Virginia with the best veterinary and processing services available.
