Pasture Raised Chicken

Pasture raised chicken is nutrient-dense as a result of the fresh, natural diet of the chickens. Compared to barn-raised birds (and even “free range organic”), pasture-raised chickens actively graze on vitamin- and protein-rich pasture and hunt for seeds and insects. This delightful buffet contributes to:

Higher concentrations of vitamins D and E
Gelatin-rich broth and healthy organs and, therefore, increased value of the whole bird; read more
Flavorful, juicy meat
More good fat (OMEGA-3’s)

We get day-old baby chicks in from a hatchery which upon arriving at the farm they go into the warm, friendly environment of our brooder. They spend their first two weeks in the brooder as to get acclimated enough to be transitioned into their mobile “chicken tractors”. Once in the chicken tractors, they are moved daily to keep them on fresh pasture. Much like the pigs, we provide them with a free-choice grain feed to supplement the pasture as they cannot survive on pasture alone.

We humanly process the chickens once fully grown and offer both whole and half chickens as well as parted poultry (from breasts to feet). We work to fully utilize the chickens for food.
