Hey everyone, I just wanted to have a quick conversation about the farm—and in particular, our pricing.

We do absolutely everything in our power to produce what I truly believe is the best chicken in the world. That’s a bold statement, but we stand behind it—because we’ve built our process around proven, ethical, and regenerative practices modeled after the gold standard in pasture-based farming.

Every single day, we move our chickens to fresh pasture. This lets them fully express their “chicken-ness”—scratching in the soil, foraging clover, chasing bugs, and contributing to the land instead of stripping it. It’s labor-intensive, but it’s the right way.

We process each bird ourselves, right here on the farm, using a humane, kosher-style method that ensures a quick and respectful end. We compost every inedible part and return it to the soil—nourishing the same pasture and garden that feed our family. Nothing goes to waste.

But what truly sets our chicken apart—even from other pasture-raised farms—is the feed. We source exclusively from Cold Springs Organics: a 100% non-GMO, organic feed mill that uses ingredients you can actually recognize. No industrial byproducts, no mystery oils, no vague “grain products.”

Just like you read ingredient labels in the grocery store, we read them for our animals. Here’s a side-by-side:

Common “pasture-raised” feed:
- Grain products
- Plant protein products
- Vegetable oil
- Dozens of words I can't pronounce

What grain products? What plant products? And why vegetable oil?

Our feed (from Cold Springs Organics):
- Corn
- Roasted soybeans
- Soybean meal
- Mixed small grains
- Alfalfa pellets
- Mineral blend
- Calcium carbonate
- That's it!

It’s simple, clean, and honest—just like the food we want to eat ourselves.

So why is our chicken more expensive?

Because it costs more to do it right.

Our feed alone is 2–3x more expensive than commodity options. But it’s worth every penny—for the birds, for the land, and for the flavor.

When you buy from us, you’re not just buying chicken. You’re investing in:
- Clean, traceable food raised with integrity
- Humane, on-farm processing
- Regenerative agriculture that restores the land
- A small, local farm you know by name

So the next time you bite into one of our grilled, juicy chicken breasts—marinated to perfection, juices dripping from your chin—you can smile knowing you’re not just eating chicken.
You’re tasting a whole philosophy of farming done right.

Thank you for supporting what we do. We’re proud to feed your family like we feed our own.
