We are a third-generation farm who first brought the Simmental breed of cattle into the Shenandoah Valley in 1970. The breed originated from Germany and known for its marbling qualities. We have spent several decades focusing on genetics in our herd to bring top producing cattle. We grow cattle for taste, superior quality, and docility. We grow all the feed our animals consume here on our farm and are self-sufficient.

Meadow’s Pride is dedicated to sustainable and humane farming practices, and our meat is hormone and antibiotics free. Our lambs graze the mountain pastures around our home, where the high elevation and cooler temperatures foster a mix of cool-season forages.

Bell & Evans manages every step of our chicken production to ensure the health of our chickens and integrity of our products. The breeder operation is where it starts. The male and female chickens produce hatching eggs that are transported to our organic certified, animal-welfare-focused hatchery. Breed matters for healthy, organic chickens.

Our focus is flavor and the eating experience. We are passionate about helping chefs and home consumers create delicious, memorable meals, using the best tasting meat and poultry in the world -- Joyce Farms Heritage products. In our 50+ years of experience in the food industry, we’ve learned the path to superior flavor and nutritional quality starts with the genetics of the animals, and how they are raised.
