Our chickens are raised the old fashioned way, on green grass in fresh air and sunshine. Fresh growing pasture, exercise and the total absence of anything artificial, help us produce the least stressed, healthiest, best textured and tastiest birds available. On our farm, twelve miles north of Harrisonburg, VA, everything is small scale, natural and unhurried. Nothing is ever done to force unnaturally rapid growth. We use no vaccines, no medications, no heavy metals, no steroids, no hormones, no injections of water, tenderizers, etc. We use no artificial lighting, nor do we practice debeaking. Our birds are fed no animal products, thus eliminating any possibility of feeding meat born disease or chemical contamination (from factory birds) to our flocks.

Our birds are dressed the old fashioned way, carefully and by hand, rather than by automatic evisceration machinery. Since we do not soak birds in vats containing spilled feces, we do not need to try to cleanse birds with ionizing radiation, chlorine baths, trisodium phosphate or other chemical agents.

We respect the ecology and build our soil by composting offal and process water rather than contributing to ground water and stream pollution. Maintaining correct nitrogen to carbon ratios helps to keep our farm sweet smelling and healthy, while eliminating the loss of valuable nutrients.

You are invited to visit our farm to see for yourself. Our ultimate inspector is you the consumer, not some disinterested government bureaucrat. We want to help you with your goal of procuring the best possible locally grown, healthy, clean food!
