This is how we roll.

Now I don't mean to offend people but I need to put this post up here because this is very important.

This is what a gizzard from a chicken raised naturally looks like. The factory birds don't look like this. Here you will see very little of grain amendments, gravel ( for proper gizzard operation) and natural greens. Insect carcasses and natural pasture grains are often found as well.

This is the way your meat was meant to be raised, not full of hormones , medications ,and commercial feed. These birds lived free and healthy and the meat will reflect this. It is very important that you know where your food comes from and how it was raised.

Although poultry doesnt receive hornones like other farm animals , commercial chicken is heavily medicated

McDonald's or taco bell , no matter what the minimum wage is, cannot do this for you. Know your farmer and know your source. You won't see this on an ad for KFC either

Chickens love commercial type feed but they also love eating wild . They want greens and insect proteins . They want mineral aggregates for healthy digestion too .

I use a cracked corn and whole wheat feed I create from grain I grow as a starter in their diet but the bulk of what they consume comes from the land . They want for nothing, don’t live in factories and are ethically harvested and I believe the difference is in the taste of the meat and my eggs



Support your local naturally raised chicken farmer and treat yourself to how your food should really taste
