What is pasture-raised chicken? 

​

Pasture-raised chickens are meat birds raised on pasture instead of in a barn.

Our chickens lead a very different life from those in the commercial feed barns.  These birds are raised in Joel Salatin-style chicken “tractors” that are out on pasture and moved daily to ensure they are always on fresh grass.  One of the major benefits of pasture-raised chicken is that they receive ¼ of their diet from the land.  This includes naturally foraged greens, seeds, bugs, and minerals.  This varied diet results in birds with a healthier balance of fats and cholesterol as seen in the yellow color of the fat and the skin once the birds are processed.

On the whole, pasture-raised chickens are happier, healthier, and tastier than birds raised in an industrial environment.

How do they taste?

​

Customers often notice a yellower fat content and a richer taste, but mostly they taste like chicken!  We think you’ll value purchasing healthier birds with a connection to your local Kansas farmer.

How are they processed?

​

We process as a family on our farm.  It’s a long couple days, but it’s also very rewarding.  And we’re proud of the product.
