Pasture Raised Chicken
Roasting to perfection – crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside.
Grilled to smoky goodness, with a tender and flavorful finish.
Our pasture-raised chicken is humanely raised in mobile coops known as "chicken tractors." We move the birds to new areas of the pasture each day, giving them access to fresh grass, sunlight, and the opportunity to forage for bugs.
Pasture-raised chicken offers several benefits, both for the chickens and for consumers:
Healthier Chickens: Pasture-raised chickens have the freedom to roam and engage in natural behaviors like foraging, dust-bathing, and scratching the ground. This leads to happier, less stressed animals.
Better Nutrition: Chickens raised on pasture can forage for insects, seeds, and plants, which enhances their diet and provides them with a more diverse range of nutrients. This often results in chicken meat and eggs that are higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants compared to conventionally raised poultry.
More Flavorful Meat: Because of their varied diet and active lifestyle, pasture-raised chickens tend to have a richer, more flavorful taste than those raised in confined environments.
Reduced Use of Antibiotics and Chemicals: Pasture-raised chickens typically require fewer antibiotics and medications, as they're healthier and more resilient due to their natural living conditions.
Better for the Environment: Grazing chickens help improve soil health by fertilizing the land with their droppings. Their foraging behavior also aids in pest control and reduces the need for synthetic pesticides.
Ethical Treatment: Pasture-raised chicken farming often emphasizes humane treatment, allowing the birds to live in a more natural environment with more space and freedom compared to industrial farm conditions.
Support for Local Farming: Buying pasture-raised chicken often supports smaller, local farms that prioritize sustainable and ethical practices over mass production.
These benefits make pasture-raised chicken a more wholesome choice for both consumers and the environment.
