Healthy Chickens, Healthy Food
We have pasture raised, customer inspected, and on farm slaughtered chicken.
Pastured chickens get sunlight and fresh air. They are moved each day to new pasture. There is enough space for them to move around freely. They are good for the soil because they fertilize the ground and then move on.
Our slaughter is humane and biblically kosher. We do it ourselves on our own farm.
So, come on out. We’d be glad to show you what we are doing.

A Better Chicken, A Better Choice!
Commercial Chicken
- The chickens are often raised entirely indoors. Their droppings dry out, get in the air, and they breathe it in. (People need a respirator to go into the building.)
- They are not healthy – they can’t really walk, and they look sick.
- They do not have room to move around much at all.
- When it’s time for slaughter the chickens are loaded on a truck and driven about 50-100 miles to the slaughterhouse. (Travel conditions are unhealthy and stressful for them.)
- The slaughtering process is not humane. The birds get covered in poop from their entrails and the meat has to be dipped in bleach before bagging.

Our Chicken
- Pastured chickens are good for the soil because they don’t over graze – they fertilize the ground and then move on. we use all certified organic feed and naturally tended fields.
- The sunlight and fresh air is good for them.
- Our birds are on grass and are healthy. (They run and jump.)
- We move them to new pasture each day. They do not get parasites because they are moving on and of each area before the parasites can complete their life cycle.
- We leave enough space for the animals to move around freely.
- Our slaughter is humane and biblically kosher. We do it ourselves on our own farm.
