Championing the Commitment to Better Chicken

Joyce Farms Poulet Rouge® Heritage Chickens are raised and processed with care that meets the standards set by Global Animal Partnership's GAP Step 4 Certification and these naturally align with the Better Chicken Commitment's guidelines on important aspects of animal welfare, including breeding, housing conditions, stocking density, and third-party audits. Since our chickens are hand-harvested in small numbers, Joyce Farms is a recognized producer for the Better Chicken Commitment.

As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible practices, we continuously monitor advancements in technology and research to ensure our practices remain at the forefront of humane and ethical care. These principles have always been integral to how we operate, ensuring we deliver high-quality, thoughtfully raised poultry to our customers.
