Joyce Farms is a Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based producer of all-natural and heritage breed meat and poultry, working with a network of small farms across the Carolinas and Georgia to supply premium proteins to professional kitchens and retailers. It operates a USDA-inspected processing plant, an in-house hatchery, and an R&D kitchen at its headquarters, with facilities holding a BRC AA+ food-safety rating and perfect scores on third-party animal-welfare audits. The company maintains two product lines—Heritage and Naked—with Heritage featuring historic breeds such as Poulet Rouge chicken, Pintade, Black Turkey, Aberdeen Angus beef, and Gloucestershire Old Spot pork, often sourced from farms employing regenerative or pasture-centered practices. The Naked Line offers clean-label options including chicken, duck, rabbit, and turkey, raised free-roaming with no antibiotics, hormones, growth promotants, animal by-products, or synthetic pesticides. Joyce Farms was founded in 1962 by Alvin Joyce and is now led by third-generation brothers Ryan and Stuart Joyce. The company serves Michelin-starred chefs, specialty retailers, and home cooks nationwide, and in January 2026 announced a new premium Signature Angus Heritage Beef program for chefs and consumers seeking consistent quality and responsible sourcing.
