At Grey and Bash Farm, we’re passionate about raising happy, healthy chickens – and that passion extends far beyond the coop. We believe in holistic farming practices that benefit not just the birds we raise, but the very land that sustains them. That’s why we’re proud to offer pastured poultry – a delicious and nutritious option that’s good for you and good for the earth.
For Your Body:
- Nutrient Powerhouse: Our chickens roam freely on pastures, supplementing their diet with fresh grass, insects, and seeds. This natural foraging translates to meat and eggs packed with essential vitamins and minerals. We’re talking higher levels of Vitamin A for a strong immune system, Vitamin D for healthy bones, and Omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health.
- Less Fat, More Flavor: Compared to conventionally raised chickens, pastured poultry boasts less overall fat and a lower saturated fat content. This translates to leaner, healthier meat with a richer, more flavorful taste.
- Reduced Risk: Because our chickens have access to the outdoors and a varied diet, they’re less susceptible to illness. This means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re getting a safe, healthy product for your family.
For the Land:
- Natural Fertilization: As our chickens roam, they distribute their manure across the pasture. This organic fertilizer is a goldmine for the soil, enriching it with essential nutrients that help grass and other plants thrive.
- Pest Control Patrol: Those pesky insects? Our chickens see them as a tasty snack! By naturally controlling insect populations, they help maintain a healthy balance in the ecosystem.
- Soil Regeneration: Healthy chicken manure, combined with the birds’ scratching and pecking habits, improves soil aeration and drainage. This happy, healthy soil is better at retaining water and nutrients, leading to a more resilient and productive landscape.
At Grey and Bash Farm, we believe in raising chickens the way nature intended. By choosing pastured poultry, you’re not just getting a delicious and nutritious meal, you’re supporting a sustainable farming practice that nourishes both the body and the land.
