Our Practices
We take pride in maintaining happy birds and a low stress environment from their first day to their last day on the farm. Our chickens are handled gently, killed respectfully, and cleaned with extreme care. If you have any questions about any of our practices, please reach out to us. Chickens arrive on the farm shortly after hatching. After spending their first two weeks inside a heated brooder, we move them to our pastures, where they live in bottomless coops that provide them with fresh plants and bugs every day, while keeping them protected from predators and the elements. They are fed conventional grain from our local mill, Morrison's in Barnet, VT. All chickens are processed on the farm by Emily and Doug. This is the most difficult part of raising animals for us, but we feel that processing our own poultry allows us to treat our animals in the best possible way and provide the best possible product for our customers. Processing is conducted under exemption from USDA Inspection. |
