Joyce Farms Launches Signature Angus Heritage Beef Program

Joyce Farms has officially introduced its innovative Signature Angus Heritage Beef program as of January 15, 2026. This fresh initiative targets both culinary professionals and home cooks who demand not only the highest quality but also reliability in beef sourcing.

The Signature Angus Heritage Beef comes from Heritage Red Angus cattle that are lovingly nurtured and raised on regenerative farms nestled in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains. These cattle are raised on pasture, resulting in superior marbling, tenderness, and a rich, beef-forward flavor. Each cut of beef is processed at USDA-inspected facilities and is graded to meet USDA standards, typically falling within the Choice and Prime categories.

As noted by Ryan Joyce, President and CEO of Joyce Farms, the beef market has been laden with unpredictability characterized by supply gap issues and fluctuating prices. He emphasizes the need for customers not only to receive quality beef but also to have reliability from the provider. In response to this, the Signature Angus Heritage Beef program aims to grant customers the predictability they expect without compromising on the unquestionable integrity and transparency that Joyce Farms champions.

The introduction of this program comes at a critical time when market dynamics in the beef sector remain unstable, with significant price volatility. Chefs and foodservice buyers often find it challenging to plan long-term due to the scarcity of supplies and shifting costs.

Moreover, the Signature Angus Heritage Beef program will take the place of Joyce Farms’ previous offering, the limited 100% grass-fed Aberdeen Angus Heritage Beef line. This strategic shift allows the company to address customer demand while maintaining its commitment to the standard of 'Nothing Added Ever,' which includes no antibiotics, hormones, or artificial additives, along with third-party animal welfare certifications.

Program Highlights

• - Nothing Added Ever: This guarantees that the meat contains no antibiotics, added hormones, or artificial components.
• - GAP Certified to Step 4: Ensures the meat adheres to verified third-party welfare standards set by the Global Animal Partnership Animal Welfare Program.
• - Pasture-raised: Cattle are raised on regenerative farms located in the North Carolina and Virginia regions of the Blue Ridge Mountains, giving them optimal living conditions.
• - Local Processing: All cattle are born, raised, and harvested within the USA and undergo USDA inspection and grading.
