What are the pastured chickens fed?

We give our chickens new pasture to graze daily, we give them access to Non-gmo grains and they forage on other things like insects, worms, seeds and more. Pasture raised chickens are healthy, naturally and that means in the end we can provide our customers with healthier meat that has been raised without the use of drugs, antibiotics or hormones.

What are benefits of pastured raised chicken?

Pasture raised chicken meat is higher in Iron and higher in Omega-3 and higher densities of Vitamin E. Pastured chicken also contains higher amounts of amino acids including Glutathione, which aids in reduced inflammation, aids in detoxification and increase energy to name a few. When we raise chicken without drugs, antibiotics or hormones that guarantees a "clean" meat and no drug residue is passed on to the consumer. Unlike most supermarket companies our processed chicken is not soaking in a chlorine brine before being packaged for retail, eliminating another chemical for the consumer. We have the best natural, nutritional chicken for your next meal.

What does Non-GMO mean?

As consumers, you have choices. It’s important to make sure you’re educated about GMOs and the options available. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms . Genetic engineering is a more precise method of modifying a plants genes. They can also use it to make changes to a plant’s existing traits so that plants yield more or can be sprayed with roundup or other herbicide. GMOs are found in many crops like corn, beans, and alfalfa. Even some fresh produce is now GMO and can tolerate herbicides.

We believe in consumer choice and if you’d like to avoid GMOs look for products that have been raised with NON-GMO grains and products. Non-GMO is exactly the opposite of GMOs. Non-GMOs are plants that do not have modified genes and perform naturally the way they were created to do so. Heirloom plants and natural hybrids are all part of the Non-GMO family. Non-GMO products have less chance of developing allergic reactions and provide more nutrients and antioxidants, which protects your health. As a consumer if you're unsure the food your purchasing is Non-GMO, you can always ask a manager. Although the best way to know how your food is grown is to buy farmer direct, that's where we come in. That's why we like to say Know your Farmer, Know your Food.
