In 2025, Root Poultry continues to establish itself as a reliable and ethical supplier of wholesale poultry products, proudly based in Vineland, New Jersey. Among our most in-demand items are our NAE-certified chicken necks, a product valued by both foodservice professionals and pet food manufacturers across the United States.

We’ve built our business around consistency, transparency, and partnerships that put quality first. Whether you’re running a food brand in Chicago, stocking shelves in Staten Island, or making broths in Brooklyn, Root Poultry is here to provide you with clean, USDA-inspected chicken necks at wholesale pricing.

What Are NAE Chicken Necks and Why Do They Matter?

NAE stands for No Antibiotics Ever, and it’s not just a marketing phrase—it’s a full commitment. Our chickens are raised cage-free, fed a 100% vegetarian diet, and never given antibiotics or growth hormones. This approach results in cleaner, safer poultry, which matters whether you’re making soup for humans or healthy treats for dogs.

Chicken necks are highly versatile. Some of our clients use them for making nutrient-rich broths and stocks. Others use them in pet food production, as they are packed with natural calcium, cartilage, and joint-supporting nutrients. Their affordability and nutritional profile make them a go-to option for a variety of businesses.

USDA-Inspected and Human-Grade

Every neck we supply comes from chickens processed under USDA inspection. That means you can count on food safety standards being met at every step. Our products are considered human-grade, which gives pet food manufacturers an added edge when marketing high-quality treats to consumers.

We understand that quality assurance isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s why our processing takes place in a certified, state-of-the-art facility in Vineland, New Jersey, where cleanliness, consistency, and traceability are part of our standard operating procedure.

Shipped Nationwide: From New Jersey to New York, Illinois, and Beyond

Root Poultry supplies chicken necks to a wide range of clients throughout the United States. While we’re rooted in New Jersey, our reach spans far and wide.

In New York City, we serve all five boroughs:

• Manhattan
• Brooklyn

Our delivery routes regularly serve businesses operating out of Chicago and elsewhere in Illinois, where demand for ethically sourced poultry continues to rise. We also support distribution in the Southeast, including South Carolina, where Vital Foods is one of our valued wholesale customers in 2025.

Our Partnership with Vineland Poultry: Expanding Halal Options

One of the pillars of our operation is our partnership with Vineland Poultry, a fellow New Jersey processor specializing in Zabiha Halal chicken. This partnership enables us to offer both NAE-certified and Halal-certified poultry options, giving our customers flexibility based on their business model and customer base.

Many of our clients request Halal chicken necks for specific culinary or religious uses, and our partnership ensures we can meet those needs without compromising on quality. With Vineland Poultry’s deep understanding of Halal processing requirements and our shared USDA oversight, the result is trustworthy, consistent poultry that satisfies a broader range of consumer expectations.
