Our focus is flavor and the eating experience. We are passionate about helping chefs and home consumers create delicious, memorable meals, using the best tasting meat and poultry in the world -- Joyce Farms Heritage products. In our 50+ years of experience in the food industry and food production, we’ve learned that the path to superior flavor and nutritional quality starts with the genetics of the animals, and how they are raised.
We specialize in unique heritage breed meat and poultry and in pioneering a shift to environmentally friendly regenerative farming practices for meat production.
In addition to the Heritage products that we grow and produce, we also offer a more economical line of mindfully sourced meat, poultry, and game through our Naked line.
Joyce Farms was started in 1962 by Alvin Joyce and is still a family-owned business today, with Alvin’s son, Ron Joyce, and his two sons, Ryan and Stuart, at the helm. Learn about our Management Team.
