You shouldn’t have to settle for mediocre chicken
If you shop at the grocery store, it’s almost impossible to find good chicken. Instead, you see factory raised meat on styrofoam trays with little flavor and less nutrition. It’s time you felt great about the chickens that you feed your family.

Provide healthy food
Lower saturated fat, and higher polyunsaturated fat. No antibiotics or GMO feed. Our chickens are the healthiest chickens you could possibly eat.
Cook tastier meals
When your chicken has better muscle development, healthier feed, and more sunshine, it is plump, rich and full of flavor.
Be Part of a Movement
Industrial agribusiness is destroying our bodies and our planet. Be part of the solution when you buy pastured poultry.
"This chicken is delicious! The flavor is so pure, it was juicy, and we really enjoyed it!"

Why We Move Our Chickens to Fresh Pasture Daily
We were tired of buying gross meat from the store to feed our families. Inspired by Joel Salatin and the pastured poultry movement, we decided to build a chicken tractor and raise our own chickens in a way that made us feel great about the food we were providing our families.
That’s why we move our chickens to fresh pasture every single day. With fresh grass to scratch, they stay healthier, grow stronger muscles, and live a more dignified life. All of that comes together in a healthier and better tasting chicken.
If you would like to join us on this journey, order a chicken today so you can provide your family with safe, healthy, delicious food that you feel great about.
"It was so good!"

Healthier Chickens
Chickens raised in “free range” industrial facilities get sick and aren’t as healthy for you. Chickens raised on pasture develop muscle, build social connections, and live happier, more dignified lives.
Healthier People
When you eat a pastured chicken, you are nourishing your body with beneficial fats, amino acids, and minerals that are only found in pastured chickens. Besides, it tastes way better too.
Healthier Soil
Chickens raised in biohazard facilities become toxic to the environment. On pasture, however, their manure builds soil and their gentle pasture pruning sequesters carbon.
"Chickens living their lives in an industrial building, never seeing sunlight, never scratching the earth with their claws... Now, compare that with chickens on pasture, living as they were intended, foraging, scratching, and basking in the sun. This is how we get flavor, nutrients, and texture. This is how we honor the chicken and our own bodies."

How It Works
1. Order Your Chickens
Use the form below to order your chickens. When you order, consider how often you cook chicken. Most families will want a whole chicken at least twice a month, if not four times a month.
2. Come to Chicken Day to Pick Up Your Order
On the date of your pickup, pack your family and a cooler into your car and come to Chicken Day between 1pm and 3pm! We’ll have your freshly processed whole chickens bagged and on ice in a cooler for you to pick up.
We’ll provide some light refreshments for you. Your kids can play on the lawn and help put baby chicks onto pasture. Stay a while, ask questions, and relax with others at Chicken Day.
3. Nourish Your Family
Your chickens will come whole, fresh, and ready to cook or freeze. Roasting a whole chicken is one of the easiest and most delicious meals you could offer your family. From broth to chowder, you actually can get multiple nutritious meals from one whole chicken. Click here for 6 ways to use a whole chicken.
Unanimous Winner of the 2024 Smoked Chicken Taste Test
In a three-way blind taste test between Pasture Pure Chicken and Wild Fork’s organic whole chicken, Pasture Pure Chicken was the favorite for each of the judges. While the alternative was delicious, Pasture Pure Chicken was far more tender and juicy. Thanks goes to Adam Reece for smoking the chickens to perfection.
