Broilers (Meat Chickens)
These meat chickens are started in a brooder house for the first few weeks after hatching. Once they develop adult feathers they are moved into pasture shelters where they receive fresh air, sunshine and a new “salad bar” every day. The once-per-day move helps the birds to ingest as much grass and bugs as possible and gets them away from yesterday’s manure. They never receive growth promotants or antibiotics like the industry birds regularly do.
They are supplemented with a natural free-choice grain ration as well. This feed is made from non-GMO whole grains, and is sourced locally when possible. We mill the feed on-farm so that we can control costs and quality.
We process the chickens under a South Carolina poultry processing exemption for small farmers. By processing on-farm we are able to oversee the entire process and ensure quality of the highest level.
All of these practices come together to provide you with a rich, nutrient dense chicken product that is rare and almost impossible to find in grocery stores.
