Our Poultry

Our poultry is humanely raised and rotated on fresh pasture daily to keep the birds healthy and to help rejuvenate the soil. Our #1 priority is the health and wellness of our animals and we strive to create an environment where they are free to exhibit natural tendencies and live a stress-free and happy life. We practice slow farming with our animals, which allows us to monitor them closely.
All of our poultry is processed and packaged on the farm by us in our State of Connecticut licensed processing facility.

Freedom Ranger Chicken

The breed we choose to raise is called a Freedom Ranger chicken. The chicks arrive at 2-3 days old where we immediately show them food and water and place them under heat lamps in a brood box until their adult feathers emerge. At 4 weeks the chickens are moved to pasture within a newly designed portable shelter and remain on pasture for 6 weeks. The shelters allow for the safety of every bird from overhead and ground predators, while keeping them out of the weather, but still giving them a constant breeze and sunshine to lounge in. The shelter footprint is designed to give them full access to the pasture and provides roosts to encourage their natural behavior. Every evening we change out their feed and water, and move them to fresh grass.
The Freedom Ranger chicken is an ideal bird for the pastured lifestyle; They are active foragers and easily move around scratching and pecking for their meals. We supplement their natural diet with a non-GMO local-to-Connecticut grain. These birds are hardy and have a slower growth-rate, enabling them to remain healthy and robust throughout their life. This breed is ready for processing in 10 weeks. Their meat is slightly darker and remains moist and tender when cooked.
WE DO NOT SHIP OUR BIRDS!!! Processing of the birds is done on the farm by the farmers in our newly renovated and licensed State of CT Poultry Processing Facility to minimize stress on the animals and so you can be certain you know how they were treated with care up until the end and by whom. And, of course, to provide you with the freshest meat available.
We purchase chicks from Freedom Ranger Hatchery in Reinholds, PA
We purchase GMO-free grain from Pleasant View Farms in Ellington, CT
