The Auburn University Meats Lab Retail Store offers Alabama consumers premium meat products while supporting the educational mission of the Department of Animal Sciences. Located within Lambert‑Powell Meats Laboratory, every purchase directly supports student learning by funding livestock, equipment maintenance, and student workers who gain hands‑on experience in meat science and processing, strengthening Alabama’s agricultural future. The store is open to the public on 2:00 to 5:00 PM on Thursdays and 12:00 to 5:00 PM on Fridays., making it a convenient and meaningful way for Sweet Grown Alabama supporters to enjoy local products while investing in the next generation of Alabama agriculture.
