Poultry

""Pasture Raised Poultry

Turkeys: These birds are difficult to raise, but the pay off is worth the effort. Our methods match those used for broiler chickens – pasture raised on lush green grass.

Layers: Our layer hens are the only poultry that we keep year round and are made up of hearty brown, white, blue and green egg producers

""Broilers: The chicks arrive at the farm within 24 hours of birth. After 2-4 weeks in our brooder, the chicks are out on pasture in “chicken tractors”, portable pens that are moved frequently to new pasture. Our chickens will get up to 70% of their diet from pasture, making for a more delicious meat that is low in saturated fat, and high in Omega-3’s and CLA’s.

With our poultry, as with our beef, we guarantee that the animals will have fresh pasture during the growing season, and that they will not receive any hormones, or appetite enhancers of any kind.
