Frequently Asked Questions

Are there benefits to Pasture Raised Poultry?

There are multiple benefits! Chickens are given access to a diet that includes a variety of insects and plants, which results in meat that is higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It's also extremely environmentally friendly as it helps to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What is a Mobile Chicken Tractor?

What does Pasture Raised Poultry mean to us?

At Fat Bastard Farms Pasture Raised means our birds are housed in Mobile Chicken Tractors and are moved daily to fresh vegetation.
Are there benefits to the lives of the poultry compared to traditional raised poultry?

Pasture-raised chickens live happier, healthier lives compared to their conventionally raised counterparts. Our chickens are allowed to engage in natural behaviors such as foraging on fresh vegetation daily and are not confined to cramped, crowded conditions. This means that pasture raised chickens are less likely to suffer from stress and disease, which results in a healthier and more humane way of raising chickens.
