Good morning,

You really need to take a few minutes to watch Pastured Poultry: Better Way Forward.

It's a great video from the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA). They clearly show the outstanding advantages of pastured poultry.

These truly pastured chickens are moved each day like our birds.

And while pastured chicken is truly amazing... it's not enough.

We go well beyond pastured.

Most pastured chickens are fed GMO-Free chicken feed.

And that's good.

Except.

GMO-Free does not mean the feed is also CHEMICAL-FREE!

Just before harvest, non-GMO wheat, barley and oat fields are commonly sprayed with Glyphosate in a practice called Desiccation.

Our chickens get pure, organically grown feed that is:

1. Chemical-Free

2. Soy-Free

3. And GMO-Free

Are Chemical-Free foods important to your family? Please hit reply and let me know.

I'll try to follow up with more details in a later email...

Meanwhile, enjoy our Organically Pastured Eggs and Chicken this week!

All the best of food and blessings,

Wesley

Mystery Meat Is in the News. We're the Opposite.

You may have seen the news on 300,000 tons of beef trimmings being imported tariff-free into the United States and blended with fatty domestic beef to make cheaper ground beef for everyone. Or maybe you've seen the nationwide recall announced 9/22 for 167,639 pounds of pork, beef, and goat products that may have been already relabeled and distributed through grocery stores and restaurants nationwide. These days you truly need to know your farmer if you want to know your food source and eat with confidence.

Our Chickens Move Twice a Day. Most Never Move at All.

Today I'll show what Truly Pastured means for our chickens compared to "organic" CAFO style barns with 20,000–30,000 birds in one building and only a grass strip along the edge. The problem with industrial organic chickens is that very few of these birds ever go outside... let alone eat a meaningful amount of grass. If they did go out regularly, that mass of birds would turn a small grass strip into a bare dirt mess in a matter of days.
