Chicken raised right... tastes right! and is better for you.
Extensive lab testing on pasture raised poultry has shown that they have nearly three times higher omega-3, and 50% higher levels of vitamin A, D, and E

Pasture RaisedChicken & Soil Health
Pasture RaisedChicken & Soil HealthPasture raised is a better method of farming for everything involved. The land. The birds. The people.
Real pasture raised poultry lives the majority of their lives on fresh vegetative pastures and are housed in mobile shelters while on pasture. Our birds sleep inside mobile shelters to protect them from predators, and they are moved daily to new pasture.
Pasture raised means:
✓ Connecting with the farmer behind your food.
✓ Deeper flavor and firmer texture to the meat
✓ Reduces the need for antibiotics and medications (we use none!)
✓ Turns manure into an asset that builds our fields, soils, and wildlife ecology
✓ Offers the highest animal welfare

Hand ProcessedUnder USDA Inspection
Hand ProcessedUnder USDA InspectionProcessed by people we know and trust at Belmont Meats in Paradise, PA under USDA inspection. USDA ensures humane handling and sanitary conditions. Liz actually worked at the facility for most of 2021, and will return in the fall of 2022 to process poultry alongside their staff after baby Hopkins is born.Pasture Raised Poultry
Liz has been raising chickens since 2016. Growing up with a father who has a passion for birds, it was only natural that she found an affection for these feathered animals. Starting with a small egg laying flock of 15 in her landlord's yard, Liz and Gary now raise over 500 birds per year on pasture for meat.
When we decided to start growing chicken, we wanted to do something more than just provide you with a staple food - we wanted to be able to give you the big flavor from old world and French cooking to bring home to your kitchen.
In 2021, we are adding Turkeys to our pasture for the most amazing, local holiday staple.
We plan to continue to grow these delicious birds - exploring quail in 2022, and in the future - duck, goose, and pheasant on pasture as we establish and build Little Branch Butcher, a USDA inspected poultry processing facility designed to support our farm and other farms in the region wishing to feed our region with healthy, locally produced poultry.
