TurkeyTail Pasture Raised Chicken and Duck

Our birds are raised outdoors in mobile pens that are moved daily (or twice daily) onto new ground. By moving chickens on to new ground daily we simultaneously provide forage (like bugs and grass) and sanitary living conditions. This method allows our chickens to fulfill their natural inclination to run, roost, and scratch, which makes for healthy birds that do not require vaccinations, anti-biotics, or artificial hormones.

While we are not a certified organic farm, we encourage you to come out to the farm and take a look at the labels on the feed-sack for yourself. Our feeds contain high quality ingredients like kelp meal, diatomaceous earth, and oregano essential oil (as parasite purgative). Our poultry also help to glean garden wastes and preen our grasslands.

Additionally, we supplement our poultry with the byproduct from our Oyster Mushroom production. The mushroom mass (or mycelium) contains similar medicinal qualities to the mushroom its self. The mycelium is a highly beneficial immune supporter and serves as a source of high quality protein. The end result is healthy, active broiler chicken with a superior quality you can taste.

We raise several breeds of poultry, including the conventional Cornish X Rock Hybrid broilers but also non-hybrid, heirloom-type broilers. We are always trying to find a better tasting, more robust chicken and seek more environmentally responsible way of raising them.
