Our pastured chicken is raised on open pasture in mobile shelters that move to fresh grass twice a day, so the birds are always on clean ground. They forage as they go, fed a corn-free and soy-free ration and never given antibiotics.
Most conventional chicken is cooled by soaking in large shared tanks of ice water, treated with chlorine. The birds absorb some of that water, which adds weight you pay for and dilutes the flavor. Our chicken is air-chilled instead, cooled slowly with circulating cold air and never submerged. The result is meat with no added water.
Conventional processors commonly rinse birds in chlorine or other chemical antimicrobial washes. We take a simpler approach. Our chicken is vinegar washed, rinsed with a natural vinegar solution that helps keep the bird clean without harsh chemicals.
