PASTURED POULTRY

It should come as no surprise that pastured poultry offers the same excellent nutritional benefits as other pastured animals. However, our Roaster Chickens have to be managed in the pasture environment differently due to high risk of loss to predators such as foxes. Our small flocks are moved throughout the pasture in large bottomless shelters to provide fresh pasture, while still providing shelters for protection. Our pastured birds are never allowed back onto their own droppings, thereby breaking parasitic cycles without the use of drugs or dangerous chemicals, while allowing the manure to naturally fertilize the grass.

The pastured environment reduces stress on chickens, allowing them to mature naturally. All this--coupled with exercise, a diet rich in plants, insects and a balanced grain mix--increases the nutritional value of pastured poultry. Increased Omega-3 Fatty Acids and vitamin A, along with with a significant reduction of total fat content is the reason why people who have eaten our chicken say “It’s the best chicken I’ve ever had!”
