Keeping Your Favorites in Stock: A Farm Update

Have you noticed some of your favorite poultry items are temporarily out of stock, like boneless skinless chicken breasts, whole chickens, and ground chicken? Here's why: In Southwest Michigan, we raise our chickens on pasture from April through October, aligning with our region's climate. When we run out in the winter that means we must wait until the warmer months to replenish our freezers. But don't worry, boneless skinless breasts and ground chicken will be back in stock by the end of May!

Expanding Our Flock 

This winter, we focused on creating a plan to expand our poultry flock to ensure a consistent supply of your favorite poultry items year-round. We're making careful investments in our farm's infrastructure, including upgrades to the chicken brooder, and mobile hoop houses for the pastures. Check out the building process in our latest farm video! 

Tackling Challenges Head-On

Previously, our chickens roamed our pastures under mobile shades, providing shelter from the elements, but lacked protection from predators like hawks and eagles. We also fed the chickens daily by the bucket-full, making for long hot days of chicken chores. With the mobile hoop houses, we're addressing these challenges while expanding our flock size responsibly. The feed and waterers are automated, giving us more time to devote to moving the birds daily through the pasture, building the soil's health along the way.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Our responsibility as your farmer is not taken lightly. We will continue to improve your food supply while we work together, with the land and animals.
