Pastured
Poultry
Pastured
poultry is a method of raising birds in movable pens so that the birds
live and forage directly on the pasture in order to achieve the benefits
of free range meats without experiencing tough meat or predator problems.
Each day the pen is moved to a fresh piece of grass so that the birds
stay healthy and happy. We never use pesticides, fungicides or herbicides
on our poultry or their pasture.
Our meat chickens are a Cornish-Rock cross that produce
3 to 5 pound dressed broilers.
Non-medicated / antibiotic-free feed is supplied and the birds consume
up to 30% of their diet in green forages. We use no antibiotics and
no feed additives containing hormones or hormone altering drugs.
Broiler chickens are produced March through November due to the seasonal
nature of the system. We typically raise enough to have finished meat
available through the Winter months.
Pasture raised poultry living on fresh greens and bathing in natural
sunlight is reported to have the following benefits over conventionally
raised poultry:
- 30% Less
Saturated Fat
- 28% Fewer
Calories
