Why Pasture Raised Chickens

Pasture raised chickens are raised in a natural and spacious environment. They have consistent access to a large area of green pasture where they can roam, forage, and engage in natural behaviours. Pasture raised chickens typically have a more diverse diet, as they can eat grass, insects, and other plants, which can contribute to the quality and flavour of their meat and eggs.

In addition to a more natural environment, pasture raised chickens are often raised using more sustainable and humane practices, such as rotational grazing and lower stocking densities. This allows for healthier, happier chickens and a lower environmental impact.

The many benefits of choosing 100% Natural Pastured Chickens:

• Improved Animal Welfare: Pasture raised chickens have the opportunity to live more natural lives, as they can engage in behaviours such as dust bathing, foraging, and socializing. This can lead to happier, healthier birds and improved animal welfare. 
• Better Nutrition: Pasture raised chickens have a more diverse diet, which can result in more nutritious meat and eggs. Studies have shown that pasture raised eggs can contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids compared to their conventionally raised counterparts.
• Enhanced Flavour: Many consumers report that pasture raised chicken has a superior taste and texture, as their natural diet and outdoor lifestyle can contribute to a more healthier, flavourful and tender meat.
• Environmental Sustainability: Pasture raised chicken farming can have a lower environmental impact, as it often utilises practices such as rotational grazing and lower stocking densities. This can help maintain soil health, reduce water pollution, and promote biodiversity.
• Support for Local Farmers: By choosing pasture raised chicken, you are supporting small, local farmers who prioritise animal welfare and environmental sustainability. This helps to strengthen local food systems and contributes to a more resilient and diverse agricultural landscape.

Pastured poultry will live a majority of its life on pasture and will be rotated to fresh green grass in a managed (i.e., deliberate) way that benefits the bird, the land, the community, and the eater.
