They like being in the sun on grass, chasing and eating bugs. So that’s what we provide them - they are raised in movable hoops on our pasture from the day they arrive here. 100% pasture raised.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tChickens want to eat fresh organic feed. Our chickens eat 100% organic feed. We work with our local feed mills to source most of the grains locally. Our feed is a radically traditional and simple wheat and peas recipe (NO CORN, NO SOY!). It’s better for the birds and the environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tOrganic means that there are no GMOs, no pesticides, and no herbicides involved.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tOrganic means that we focus on our birds' natural health, not creating “health” with drugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tOrganic means our birds have access to ACRES of pasture.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tChickens should be raised by family farms, not corporate giants.
