This week, we had the opportunity to sponsor an awesome event through Ripe Revival called the Supper Club Chef Series! Through this program, Ripe Revival sold mail-order meal kits containing our Split Heritage Poulet Rouge® Chicken and products from other sponsors including the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission, Tidewater Grain Company, and Nash Produce. Those who purchased the meal kits received a link to cook along virtually through a live stream with Chef Saif Rahman of Vidrio Restaurant in Raleigh, NC!
The program was a fundraiser to benefit Ripe Revivial’s pay-what-you-can, Ripe for Revivial 501(c)(3) Mobile Market Program, promoting food equity in many local communities.
Limited tickets were also available to attend the live event at Vidrio to watch the live stream taping and enjoy the prepared dish in their dining room. While we unfortunately weren’t able to attend in person, a few of our team here at Joyce Farms decided to join in the fun and cook along with Chef Rahman from our R & D kitchen, resulting in a delicious meal!
The specially curated meal from Chef Rahman was Pan-Seared Poulet Rouge® Chicken with Curried Sweetpotatoes and Carolina Gold Rice with a side of Bengali Tomato Salad. Here’s a look at how ours turned out!

The Mobile Market Program’s mission is to revive communities through food on the road by utilizing buses that have been transformed into pay-what-you-can markets throughout North Carolina. Support of the Reviving the Supper Club Chef Series event plays a significant role in their goal to bridge the gap between farm excess and food access.

As consumers become more conscious about the origins of their food, labels on meat and poultry offer reassurance that our choices align with our values. However, new USDA guidelines aimed at strengthening these claims bring a new challenge: balancing trust in these labels with the rising costs of maintaining them, especially for small producers. Explore how these changes could impact the food you choose and the diversity of options available.
