To Our Customers and Business Partners,
Our world has changed significantly within the past week. The disruption of our daily lives and our businesses has been swift, furious and unprecedented. This is a certainly a challenging time for all of us, both from a human health and an economic perspective.
One of our foremost concerns is the health and well-being of our employees and customers. Our other concern is the economic health of our customers. We hope that all of you will navigate successfully through this crisis, and that you will be able to return to normal business levels as soon as it is safe to do so.
With the $2 trillion virus rescue bill just passed by the Senate and pending in the House, we are hopeful that aid in the form of loans and assistance will be made available quickly to businesses affected by the virus.

We at Joyce Farms want you to know that we appreciate your past support of the unique meat and poultry programs we have developed over the years. We remain open to supply you during these trying times, and especially appreciate those of you who continue to place orders with us.
Your support enables us to feed our animals, keep our small farmers in business, and keep a portion of our team employed. Besides, where else would you find meat and poultry with which to make memorable meals? And yes, take-out meals can also be memorable!
From our family to yours, we hope this pandemic will soon be over, that our lives will soon return to normal, and that we will get back to the business as usual. Stay safe.

Did you know that a staggering 40% of the US food supply is wasted each year? This statistic is not just a reflection of discarded leftovers; it represents a massive inefficiency in our food system. When you consider the significant resources—10% of the nation’s total energy budget, 50% of its land, and 80% of freshwater consumption—that go into American food production, it's clear that we have a big problem on our hands. Fortunately, there are inspiring figures in the culinary world who are actively combating food waste, and one such champion is our long-time friend and customer, Steven Satterfield, the talented chef and owner of Miller Union in Atlanta.
