Heartland Catfish Company Launches New Website to Honor 30th Anniversary
Refreshed site emphasizes products, company history and community ties
Itta Bena, Miss. (Sept. 15, 2026) – Heartland Catfish Company recently launched a new website in celebration of its 30th anniversary. The site has been refreshed to focus on retail and food service partnerships, give a detailed look at the company’s products and processes and emphasize consumer education about the benefits of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a versatile and healthy protein source.
As the largest vertically integrated catfish processor in the industry, Heartland Catfish Company manages its catfish supply from egg to product, allowing for delivery of consistent, high-quality, on-flavor U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish to customers across the United States year-round. The new website focuses on the founding principles of the company and their influence on today’s operation.
“As we celebrate 30 years in business, we’ve been reflecting on how our company and the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish industry have grown and evolved over time, and we’re proud of the relationships we’ve built along the way,” said Jonathan Mills, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Heartland Catfish Company. “Our new website emphasizes the growing reach of catfish to all generations and the new ways catfish is being incorporated into meals that best meet the needs of today’s consumers.”
Built on the foundation of honor, integrity, hard work and Christian principles instilled by its founder, William Tackett, Heartland Catfish Company has spent 30 years crafting a legacy of trust as a premier U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish provider. Over three decades, the company has provided thousands of jobs to the state of Mississippi and delivered high-quality, on-flavor, U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish to retailers and customers across the country.
August marked National Catfish Month, a celebration of community, heritage and the farmers who have dedicated their lives to bringing quality U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish to tables over the years. Heartland’s site launch during National Catfish Month was a nod to the industry’s deep-rooted commitment to providing a reliable and affordable protein source while educating consumers about the benefits of adding U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish to their diets.
Heartland Catfish has also released two new videos to be featured on the website, with a focus on the company’s Delta roots and its coast-to-coast customer base.
