Why Growers & Employees Choose BJE
Hear directly from the growers and team members who make BJE Poultry what it is — a company built on trust, partnership, and people who genuinely care about the work they do.
“I love growing turkeys for BJE because the service is high quality, communication is consistent and easy, especially compared to what I was dealing with in a former contract, I know when my birds are coming, leaving, going out, what weight they’re going out, etc. They are great people to work with.”

A Word From Billy
In 1987, my brothers Jim and Ed were helping me with the family feed business located in Kreamer, Pennsylvania when we saw an opportunity to expand more into the poultry production industry. Together we started BJE Poultry (Billy, Jim, Ed). Our parents, Doris and George Robinson, had not only started Kreamer Feed back in 1947, but then also D&G Contracting in 1958, which contracted local farms to grow poultry. Our first BJE customer was Vineland, a New Jersey processing plant who bought broilers – who was still a customer into the 2010s. Our second customer was Philadelphia Poultry about two years later, owned by Marvin Rabb (who happened to be the owner of Vineland’s son). For Vineland, it was about ten local broiler farms contracted. Before we knew it, our contracts expanded to about 20 farms instead of 10. D&G Contracting, our parent’s business, provided the poultry technicians for the farms, while our dad was trying to transition the D&G growers to BJE Poultry over time. As of the 20 farms coming on board, new BJE employees were hired, including our own poultry technicians. Jimmy was doing sales, Ed was the vice president, and our dad was running the grow out. The next customer, All City Poultry, got us into kosher meat because they were a city customer with a processing plant in Brooklyn. Jimmy left BJE in 1994, Ed in 2026, and today, I oversee the business with a fantastic team that makes delegating easy.
You know I trust the expertise of my BJE Poultry family when my own broiler farm, about ten minutes from the town of Kreamer, is contracted successfully with the business. My wife Teri and I are thrilled to continue to thrive under their service and expertise.
