We are proud to offer "Freedom Ranger" meat chickens, especially suited to pastured production. They take longer to reach market weight and have less white/breast meat than the industrial Cornish cross bird, but they are a healthier, more viable animal, and they more than make up for their slower growth and higher cost with OUTSTANDING FLAVOR! Additionally, they are the more humane choice. Learn more about ranger chickens and read tips about preparing them here.
Our chickens are free to be chickens! They enjoy:
-
Free access to pasture
-
Locally milled, corn and soy free feed, plus fruits and veggies grown on the farm using organic methods
-
Natural/organic healthcare
-
Stress and pain minimization techniques are employed for all handling, transport, and slaughter activities
