"Pastured" simply means free range of a pasture.  Since our farm is our home, it is difficult and not  profitable to let the poultry have free range of our  entire yard and

garden space. Instead we rotate our  flocks in large, fresh pasture areas or mobile pens called "Tractors". Our birds have  access to fresh  grass, air, bugs, and sunshine everyday. This is actually more beneficial than most "Free-range" systems, in which birds are just packed into a warehouse. With the lack of individual cages, they can be labeled "free range", but still do not have the nutritional qualities of pastured chicken.  In addition to pasture, our birds receive a supplemental combination of cracked corn, oats, oyster shell, grit and our custom grind feed that contains no antibiotics, medications, or hormones.

All commercial meat chicken come from one breed. Rather, it is a cross, between the Cornish and Rock breeds of chicken, producing a hybrid known as a "Cornish Rock X". They are specifically bred for their

large breast meat which is found on no other breed of chicken, and their incredibly fast grow out period (it takes 8 weeks to reach maturity). Another name for the Cornish Rock X is the Broiler Chicken.  Though they are the same breed, our broilers are more flavorful, juicy, tender, and leaner than your typical broiler. All the results of a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, sunshine, and grass in a stress-free environment.     Because the Broiler chickens are bred to grow so fast,  they often  have structural problems, and many go lame in their legs. Commercial chicken farmers don't do much to counter this, because the broilers are not required to walk. We feed our Broiler chicks Brewers Yeast for growth support and fresh Garlic as a natural immune boost, and have experienced great results. Our chickens get healthy exercise and are not allowed to slouch around here!

Eventually we have the need to "cull" mean roosters and old hens. These were traditionally used for "chicken 'n' dumplings" in the old days when this was an everyday occurance. We recommend a long, slow "stewing", since their meat is much less tender  than

the broilers. Makes a chicken soup not to be beat! Old Jewish recipes used the chicken feet and head along with the rest of the carcass to make a stock worthy of medicinal use(only included if requested in advance). The benefits of the natural gelatin found in the bones are countless, and a neccesity during the long winter months.
