Moved Daily with Care
We utilize a simple and transparent process: our bottomless mobile coops are moved regularly to fresh sections of pasture. This intentional small-scale farming approach ensures our chickens always have clean ground to scratch and peck, while naturally fertilizing our fields.
Raised on Fresh Grass
Our chickens spend their lives outdoors, exactly where they belong. From the moment they are old enough to handle the elements, they have constant access to fresh air, sunshine, and a diverse diet of forage and insects.
Why Pasture-Raised is Better
Superior Flavor
Pasture-raised chicken offers an unmatched flavor and firm texture that mass-produced birds simply cannot replicate.
Pasture Access
Our chickens have constant access to fresh grass, clover, and insects, which is the cornerstone of their superior quality.
Sunlight & Fresh Air
Raised in their natural environment, our birds benefit from fresh air and sunlight every single day.
Small-Batch Quality
By focusing on small-batch production, we prioritize quality over quantity and care for every bird intentionally.
Humane Care
Our chickens are humanely raised with care and respect, living the way nature intended on open pastures.
Grocery Alternative
There is no comparison to mass-produced grocery store chicken. Our farming process is transparent and focused on health.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the chickens?
Our chickens typically range from 4 to 6 pounds each, though final weight varies individually as they are raised in small batches on pasture.
What is the final price per pound?
The final total will be calculated at pickup based on the weight of your birds. Your $10 deposit is deducted from this final total.
When will I pick up my order?
Processing is scheduled for early June. We will contact all reservation holders with specific pickup times and directions as we get closer to the date.
Is it fresh or frozen?
Birds are available fresh on processing day. If you cannot pick up during the fresh window, they will be vacuum-sealed and frozen to maintain peak quality.
