USPOULTRY Opens Nominations for 2027 Environmental Excellence Award

Environmental stewardship is already part of the job for California poultry and egg producers, and now there's an opportunity to be recognized for that work on a national stage.

The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association is accepting nominations for its 2027 Family Farm Environmental Excellence Award. The program honors family-owned poultry growers and egg producers who demonstrate exceptional environmental stewardship in their operations.

Eligible nominees include family-owned poultry growers or egg producers who supply products to a USPOULTRY member, as well as independent producers who are USPOULTRY members. Nominations are due October 23.

USPOULTRY Chair Bill Griffith says environmental stewardship remains at the forefront of sustainability efforts on family farms, and the award celebrates the dedication those producers bring to their operations.

Regional finalists will receive travel and hotel accommodations to attend the 2027 International Poultry Expo, part of the International Production & Processing Expo in Atlanta. Regional winners will be announced during a special ceremony at the Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit on January 26.
