Pasture Rejuvenation


Through S.A.R.E. and MDA farm grants, we are conducting research on pasture rejuvenation using hog and poultry rotational grazing. By grazing our pastured poultry in “Salatin-style” pens, the animals not only fertilize the soil, but gain vital protein and nutrition by eating insects and fresh forage.  For us, it means lush pasture and healthy soil which will nourish our animals year after year. It also adds to our profitability.


What does this mean for our customers? Healthier, tastier, organically raised meat!

the pasture.  All pens are moved at least once a day to 
ensure that the chickens receive fresh forage and insects.

pulling Red Broilers and Cornish Broilers through the 
field. These strips of field are much greener and healthier 
than the control strips between them.
