PASTURED POULTRY ~ Chicken and Turkey
How We Raise Our Poultry:
-
We receive the chicks from a hatchery in Ohio, and raise them from two days old.
-
Once old enough to pasture, we move them from the brooder to a portable shelter that is moved twice daily to fresh grass, where they are given free range of the pasture to feed on grass, clover, and bugs.
-
We supplement their pasture with non-GMO grain from a local mill.
-
We use no antibiotics, steroids or hormones.
-
At 8 weeks, our family processes the chickens using the most humane methods. The turkeys are processed after 4 months.

We raise our pastured chickens from April - September, the time when the grass is growing and there's good pasture available. However, we also freeze a large number of chickens so that we can have chickens available year round to meet the needs of our customers. The average weight per chicken is 5 lbs.

Our turkeys are available for Thanksgiving. We process them on the Monday of Thanksgiving week so they are available for pick-up or delivery before Thanksgiving. We can also freeze turkeys for anyone who wants one for Christmas. The turkeys weigh between 12-25 lbs.
