Catawba Center

The Catawba Sustainability Center, located in the picturesque Catawba Valley of Virginia, is a 377-acre farm property that serves as a living laboratory for sustainable land management. Through interdisciplinary research and hands-on learning, the center promotes sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry, and land management, emphasizing the importance of experiential education both inside and outside the classroom.

With a focus on research, community engagement, and hands-on learning, the Catawba Sustainability Center offers programs such as the Grass-Fed Beef Partnership, which supports the regional beef economy while researching regenerative grazing practices, and research on Appalachian mountain plants like ramps, goldenseal, and mushrooms, utilizing forgotten land resources. Additionally, the center provides access to the Catawba Greenway, offering a gateway to the Appalachian Trail and McAfee Knob, further enhancing the center's commitment to sustainability and outdoor exploration.
