Did you know? -Animals raised on pasture are nutritionally superior to those raised in commercial factory settings -Grocery store poultry raised in a factory setting is subjected to as many as 40 chlorine baths during processing. The meat becomes saturated and retains up to 27% of the contaminated water -Factory chickens are routinely fed appetite stimulants such as arsenic which is present in the meat -Factory chickens are fed ground waste products (heads, feet, intestines, etc...) |
We move our broilers/meat birds to fresh grass twice daily. They are able to eat fresh grass, breathe fresh air, drink fresh water, and are able to move in and out of the sun as they please. |
Pastured - Raised, Free Range or Organic ??? "Free Range" are not the same as Pastured Animals. Unlike Pastured Animals, Free Range animals may not have access fresh grass and sunshine. In fact, according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the US Dept. of Agriculture, the only qualifications for "free range or free roaming" is that the producers must demonstrate to the Agency that the animals are allowed access to the outside. In other words, if an animal has 'access' to the outdoors (for as little as 5 minutes a day) even if it never actually goes out, or goes onto a concrete slab, it can still be labeled "Free Range". Animals that are labeled "Organic" are also generally raised in a factory house or barn setting. This just means that they are being fed organically raised feed which is usually loaded with fillers. Again, they never really see fresh grass, fresh air, fresh bugs or sunshine. |
