Unity’s Ag Business class is raising high-quality chicken and pork under the business name UC Flock & Stock. Their goal is to provide fresh, locally raised meat while practicing responsibility and stewardship. Everything they sell is handled with care, and they offer great options for families and grilling. If you’re looking for better quality meat and an opportunity to  support Unity students, they’d love for you to order from them. Chickens will be butchered in the beginning of May, and the pork will be ready in June. Ordering information will be coming soon. Thank you!  

Please fill out THIS form to help them decide what cuts of meat are preferred.


Yearbook Ordering: Ordering yearbooks looks different this year. You may have received an email from Jostens this week about being able to order a yearbook for this year. The email is legit and you need to order and pay for a Unity yearbook online (no yearbooks can be ordered through the office). You can order until May 1, 2026. You can also go to HERE to order or the link is on the Resource Board in Blackbaud.
