And we are rolling

Zaycon’s trucks rolled out this morning, kicking off our spring chicken events (ok, so it’s not spring and there are winter storms happening across the country).

DSC_2539Spokane Valley was one of the first events in the northwest and at 15 degrees outside, we kept warm with hot cocoa brought to us by an awesome customer. We can’t thank our customers enough! When they bring us surprise treats, well, thats just icing on the cake. Just a few faces from the office, Trinette, works in our customer service department and Rick is one of our drivers. We all like to help out, even on our days off.
DSC_2685We hope to see you at the next event! Stay warm America!

Meet Matt

If you have been a part of Zaycon for a while, most likely, Matt has been your driver. Interviewing him was entertaining. Every question was answered with “you cant’ put that on the blog”. I was able to get some straight answers from him, and now you can get to know Matt too.

Matt comes from what we call “the west side” in Washington State. He has been a driver for Zaycon for about 2 years and he is always cheerful and happy. His face is also the most seen Zaycon employee in blog posts about us from customers. check for yourself here, here and here. His favorite route is in the south east part of the nation, where he had lived for a few years when he was younger. And if your name is Kristi and you live in Cummins, GA, you are Matts favorite customer…sorry everyone else. Matt loves to travel and so becoming a driver for Zaycon just fit. He is a world traveler, having gone to places like Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore and Taiwan.

On his time off, he likes hanging out with his dog, Prepton, a 7 yr old Maltese, eating at his favorite restaurant, Pho Bac, in Seattle or watching spy movies. He’s not a big fan of chocolate, but loves red candies. Not sure if its the red or the flavor he likes best, but red candies it is.

So next time your picking up your Zaycon products and Matt is your driver, give him a high five or tell him his hair looks nice, he may just do a dance for you.

shout out

Just want to give a little shout out to our thoughtful customers in The Dalles, Oregon who helped our stranded driver, Randy, yesterday! I got this text from his wife:

“Some awesome customers came to the rescue and brought Randy some treats and food this evening after his traumatic afternoon of blown tires and being stranded on the freeway. They deserve a shout out….they were concerned about their driver. Warmed my heart!”

So thank you, whomever you are, from the entire Zaycon Foods Family!

 

Zaycon has a new look

You may have noticed that Zaycon Foods logo has a brighter, fresh new look to it. Even a few of our trucks were subject to an overhaul. You could spot a few of them at our chicken events all over Washington this week.

Most of the nation has had a chance to pick up their Zaycon chicken, if your new to the events, what do you think? Do you taste a difference?

Referral credits: new policy

Hello Zaycon fans!

Chicken events started happening across the country last Saturday!! I hope your enjoying some delicious fresh chicken!

chicken event last Saturday in Boise, ID

In case you missed it, there will be another chicken event this spring. Look for bacon (we like to call it “Zayc’n Bac’n” around the office) and breakfast sausage events coming up and the BEST ham ever will be coming just after Thanksgiving. Those events are open now so go order before its gone.

I wanted to let you know about our new policy with referral credits. Credits will not be seen in your account until after an event takes place in case someone needs to cancel their order, etc. This means that those credits can be used on the next event, but not the current one.

We love to hear from our customers and want to know what your doing with your chicken. Do you cook it up? Freeze it? Can half of it? I freeze half and can the other half. What are some of your favorite recipes?

Zaycon chicken for only .24 a pound?!? That’s crazy!

Only its not crazy and anyone can do it.

Kellene Bishop from Preparedness Pro did just that. Check out her blog on how she was able to get 80 lbs of chicken at just .24 a lb.
