Wilders' Team Adventures at the 2024 Carolina Meat Conference

Our WILD team recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2024 Carolina Meat Conference, held on July 30-31 at Appalachian State University in the charming town of Boone, North Carolina. The conference, organized by NC Choices, provided a rich learning experience, allowing the team to delve deep into various aspects of the meat industry.

Immersive Learning Experience

The conference itself was a treasure trove of knowledge. The team attended numerous sessions that covered a wide range of topics, from logistics and branding to farmers market strategies and livestock care. A highlight was hearing from the renowned Temple Grandin, whose insights into animal behavior and welfare were truly inspiring. Each session equipped the team with valuable insights that they are eager to implement to enhance agricultural and logistics processes.

A Visit to Shipley Farms

The trip culminated with a farm tour to Shipley Farms, a wonderful relationship our brand has made over the years. The tour showcased Shipley's Western North Carolina farming practices and provided practical insights that align with Wilders' commitment to quality and sustainability. The experience reinforced the team's dedication to continuous learning and growth, ensuring that Wilders remains at the forefront of the premium meat industry.

Commitment to Excellence

At Wilders, our team is passionate about providing the best premium meats to our customers. Continuous learning from industry leaders, peers, and events like the Carolina Meat Conference is crucial to maintaining standards and improving offerings.
