Joyce Farms, a provider of all-natural and heritage breed meat and poultry products, announced that Ryan Joyce, formerly VP of finance, and Stuart Joyce, formerly VP of operations, have assumed the roles of president & CEO and executive vice president of Joyce Farms, respectively. Ron Joyce, who has served as president & CEO for the last 40 years, will remain chairman of the board and will play an active advisory role with the company moving forward.
The change comes as part of a succession plan to ensure company longevity and success. "Both of them grew up in the business," says Ron Joyce. "They helped build Joyce Farms into a successful third-generation company. I am proud of them and what they have already accomplished. This will allow Joyce Farms to continue to grow as a family-owned business long into the future."
