Our pastured Non-GMO chicken, raised on Tennessee pastures and moved daily during Spring, Summer and Fall so you can be sure your chicken has the best nutrition available!
Our pastured poultry get to eat bugs, a host of different forage components from grasses, to clovers to forbs, a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grasses, sedges and rushes). The term is used in biology and in vegetation ecology, especially in relation to grasslands and understory and greatly complex their diet versus birds in factory confinement. We enjoy chicken with a much more diverse blend of diet than the industrial bird. It means that you get a much more diversified food base through our chicken than factory chicken, organic or otherwise (most organic is still factory housed and never sees outside).
When chickens move around on pasture, they ingest fresh green grasses, weeds, seeds, ants, flies, moths, beetles, grasshoppers and just about anything else they can. The green grasses provide antioxidants like beta carotene and change the fatty acid profile of the chicken meat, skin, and fat (for the better!). The chickens become part of the ecosystem by eating from their surroundings, which reduces the feed required to bring them to finished weight, promoting a more sustainable agriculture.
