Eating deliciously and nutritiously is the goal. When the land is vibrant, the animals are happy, and the soil is thriving, the result is healthy and delicious food.

Pasture project chickens spend most of their time on rich, biodiverse soil that is full of nutrients and life giving organisms. The animals contribute significantly to healthier soil by stirring it up and naturally fertilizing. The soil responds by providing abundant plant, bug, and insect life for the animals to forage.
This is real, sustainable farming. Good for Mother Earth. Good for the animals. Good for us.

Pasture Project chickens are authentic heirloom breed birds, which by their very nature are healthy animals. They live as nature intended, providing us with high quality, nutritional food.
Unlike conventionally raised breeds, they roam, forage and feed on nature’s bounty along with NON-GMO supplemental feed. Outdoor pasture as well as shade and shelter from weather and predators gives these heirloom chickens an opportunity to live their best lives.

The foundation of productive and sustainable agriculture is healthy land. Some basic and time-honored principles such as planting trees and cover crops and natural tilling of the soil from roaming animals, help to sustain the land. This thriving environment is vital to animal health and provides us with high quality nutrition and delicious food.

HOW DID IT LIVE? WHAT DID IT EAT?
And ultimately, how does all that relate to better tasting meat? Chicken tastes better when the animals forage and eat foods natural to their authentic diets. Roaming on fresh pasture in addition to having shade and shelter from weather and predators is essential to their good health. This in turn provides us with healthy and delicious chicken. This is nature’s way.
Flavor
Delicious chicken is everything to us! We started from a place of “this has to be the best chicken we’ve ever had”, otherwise nothing else matters.
Raised on Pasture
Our Heirloom chickens are happiest in the sunshine and fresh air, foraging and pecking for their favorite grubs, grasses and flowers. They are also provided with shade and shelter from the elements. When they feel it’s too hot or cold to spend time outdoors, they hang back in the house where there is plenty of fresh bedding, water and nutritious food.
Breed is everything. 99% of chicken raised in this country are one of 2 industrial breeds. We opted out of that system for only Heirloom breed chickens. They’re healthier, more flavorful, and good for the earth. Learn more here.
Sustainable
We have done enough damage to our planet. It is time we start eating with purpose and consider how the raising of animals affects the earth. Pasture Project is a collaboration with mother nature, working to regenerate and sustain the land.
No antibiotics ever
Living outside and grazing naturally keeps our chickens healthy, so they don’t have to be treated with antibiotics and hormones EVER.
Non-GMO Chickens
In addition to their naturally foraged food, our chickens have all day access to nutrient rich, NON-GMO supplemental feed.
Our Farm’s Regenerative Practices
Some examples include using rice hulls (the outer covering of rice grain) as sturdy, absorbant, fully recyclable bedding. Using organic poultry waste - repurposed into mulch and used to condition and improve the absorbant, nutrient rich soil.
Regenerate the land by growing! Planting trees and topiaries across unused farmland to improve soil health and air quality.
Areas of soil which are naturally and efficiently maintained by the existing Heirloom birds - which helps to maintain and improve the nutrient rich soil, while also improving soil water filtration.
The use of solar panels is to reduce fossil fuels and create a renewable, sustainable and less expensive energy source.
