Chicken & eggs · Scratching the earth, living free
Pasture-raised chicken and eggs come from birds given access to open pasture — room to roam, forage, and live as chickens naturally do. The result is more nutritious, better-tasting meat and eggs that are better for the animal, the land, and the people who eat them.
The basics
Benefits, nutrition, and what sets their eggs apart
Our hens are free to roam from sun-up to sun-down on open pasture; therefore, their diet includes insects, grass and grain which creates eggs with better flavor, color and more complete nutrition — richer in nutrients, better for animal welfare and noticeably more delicious. The natural forage alongside a supplemental feed directly improves the nutritional profile of every egg they lay.
Why they matter
Key benefits of pasture-raised eggs
From the kitchen to the farm, our pasture-raised eggs deliver advantages that go well beyond the conventional carton.
Higher omega-3 fatty acids
Pasture-raised eggs contain up to 3× more omega-3s — essential fats that support heart health, brain function and inflammation reduction.
More vitamin D
Hens that spend time outdoors in sunlight produce eggs with 3–4× more vitamin D, supporting bone health and immune function.
Richer yolk color & flavor
A varied natural diet produces deep golden yolks loaded with carotenoids and a full, complex flavor that's immediately noticeable.
Better animal welfare
With open pasture, hens express natural behaviors — foraging, dust-bathing, socializing — in lower-stress, humane conditions.
Sustainable farming
Pasture raised systems can improve soil health through natural fertilization and reduce reliance on synthetic inputs.
The basics
What is pasture-raised chicken and why does it matter?
Our broiler chickens are raised in chicken tractors - bottomless, movable cages - which allows them to scratch and eat grass, weeds and bugs off the ground and breathe the wonderful fresh air. The tractors are moved twice a day for optimal consumption and living conditions.
Pasture-raised chickens live outdoors on open land, with access to at least 108 square feet of pasture per bird. They forage naturally alongside a supplemental feed, creating a diet that directly improves the nutrition, flavor and quality of every bird.
Pasture raised means a genuine difference in how the animal lives — and what ends up on your plate.
Why it matters
Key benefits of pasture-raised chicken
From nutrition to flavor to animal welfare, here's what sets our pasture-raised chicken apart.
Better flavor & texture
Pasture-raised birds develop stronger muscles from free movement, producing firmer, richer-tasting meat with a depth of flavor that convential chicken simply can't match.
Higher nutritional value
A natural diet of grasses, seeds and insects produces chicken with more protein, fewer unhealthy fats and significantly higher omega-3 levels compared to conventionally raised birds.
No antibiotics or hormones
Pasture-raised chickens are healthier by nature, reducing the need for antibiotics. What you get is clean, natural protein — raised without shortcuts.
Superior animal welfare
Our chickens live outdoors on open pasture, with space to dust-bathe, forage and express natural behaviors — far removed from any crowded conditions.
Good for the land
Rotating chickens across pasture naturally fertilizes soil, reduces the need for synthetic inputs and supports a healthier farm ecosystem.
Know your farmer
When you buy pasture raised from a local farm, you know exactly where your food comes from. No mystery — just a direct connection between your family and ours.
