As you pull up to our pasture-raised chickens, take a look around.
You’ll notice something right away: they’re moving.
They’re scratching, pecking, chasing each other, and—yes—sometimes just running around and frolicking. They’re eating grass, clover, bugs, and whatever else they can find in the pasture.
This is what a chicken is meant to do.
Our goal is to raise chickens that are not only healthy, but nutrient-dense and full of life. We follow regenerative farming principles inspired by farmers and educators like Richard Perkins, focusing on allowing animals to express their natural behaviours while building healthier soil at the same time.
Our chicken tractors are moved every single day, giving the birds access to fresh ground, fresh forage, and fresh insects while spreading their manure naturally across the pasture.
And most of the time, they’re outside.
But because we live here in the boreal forest, we have some pretty serious predators to contend with. During the day, electric fencing provides one layer of protection. At night, the chickens are moved into their tractors, which provide another important layer of protection.
This year, we raised more than 500 pasture-raised chickens—and we’re already looking at ways to expand the operation.
Why?
Because we keep selling out.
In fact, we’re getting close to being sold out again this year.
So if you’re looking for chicken that has spent its life out on pasture, moving, foraging and doing what chickens naturally do, you’re in the right place.
