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.

Food waste is a challenge across the food system—but there are practical ways to do better. On Stop Food Waste Day, we’re sharing how farms, chefs, and home cooks can make small changes that add up to lasting impact.
In the wake of Hurricane Helene's devastation, Asheville’s culinary community is coming together to offer more than just food. From hosting fundraising events to donating meals and resources, these chefs, restaurateurs, and food artisans are playing a vital role in relief efforts, feeding hope to those in need.
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.
