Real Chicken. Raised on Sunshine, Grass, and Integrity.
Taste the difference of truly pasture-raised, non-GMO chicken from Watson Farms.
Stop settling for “grocery store” chicken. You deserve poultry that is raised with respect for the animal, the land, and your family’s health. At Watson Farms, we don’t just hide behind a slick label; we live the lifestyle every single day.
The Hard Truth About the Chicken Industry
It is easy to assume that all chickens live comfortably in a natural environment. The reality is startlingly different.
Did you know that approximately 99% of chickens in the United States are raised in confinement?
Even labels like “Free Range” often simply mean the birds are packed into massive, stationary warehouses with a small “pop-door” to a dirt patch that they rarely use. These birds live in static environments, breathing dirty air and standing in their own waste.
We believe there is a better way. We believe in Regenerative Agriculture.
The Watson Farms Difference: Daily Moves
We raise chickens the way nature intended. Here is exactly how we do it, and why it matters for the meat on your plate.
1. The Safe Start
Our chicks begin their lives in a dedicated brooder house. For the first few weeks, they are kept warm, safe from predators, and given the best start possible until they develop their adult feathers.
2. Life on Pasture
Once they are feathered and hardy, they graduate to the great outdoors. They are moved onto lush, green pastures where they have constant access to:
- Fresh Air & Sunshine: Vital for natural immunity and health.
- Foraging: They scratch, peck, and hunt for bugs and worms.
- Non-GMO Feed: We supplement their foraging with high-quality, non-GMO grain to ensure healthy growth without the chemicals.
3. The Daily Move (The Secret Ingredient)
This is what truly sets us apart. We move our chickens to a fresh “salad bar” of grass and bugs every single day.
By moving their mobile shelters daily, we ensure:
- Sanitation: The birds leave yesterday’s manure behind, breaking the disease cycle naturally without antibiotics.
- Nutrition: They get a fresh buffet of high-quality forage daily.
- Soil Health: Their waste fertilizes the land naturally, regenerating the soil rather than polluting it.
Why Pasture-Raised Tastes Better
When a chicken lives a stress-free life with the ability to exercise and eat a natural diet, the result is undeniable.
- Superior Texture: Firm, not mushy.
- Richer Flavor: A depth of taste that confinement chicken simply cannot match.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing exactly where your food came from and who raised it.
“The best chicken we’ve ever eaten, actually found out what chicken is supposed to taste like.” – Tim C.
Farm-to-Table Transparency
We believe in total transparency. We process our chickens right here on the farm or at selected local facilities, adhering to strict cleanliness and humane standards.
Note: We process our chickens under a federal poultry processing exemption for small farmers (P.L. 90-492). This allows us to provide you with the freshest possible product directly from our farm to your freezer, bypassing the industrial supply chain.
