PASTURED BROILERS
We are raising a batch of 70 Cornish Cross meat birds that will be processed mid-July. The chicks start out in a brooder for 3 weeks where they are under a heat lamp and on deep wood chip bedding. At 4 weeks they are moved into “chicken tractors” which are mobile units that we move by hand each day so that the chickens have access to fresh pasture and are moved away from their previous day’s manure. This not only produces healthier, happier chickens, but it also helps to fertilize the land. There’s a visible difference in the amount of grass regrowth in an area that a chicken tractor has been.
Why Pasture Raised Chickens?
We may be biased, but our meat birds are the best tasting chicken we have ever had. In our opinion, there’s no comparison between pasture-raised poultry and chicken you get at the store. We also love knowing that our chickens were given the best possible lives during their time with us. No confinement housing, no living in filthy conditions, no antibiotics or de-beaking, just chickens living on pasture the way they were designed to live. Not to mention, when they are processed, the meat is cooled off in ice water, not buckets of chlorine and fecal matter and they are frozen immediately instead of being pumped full of preservatives and fillers. We truly feel that chickens raised this way are the healthiest option out there. While there are “organic” or “free-range” meat options in the big name stores, we always encourage folks to buy from their local farms who they know and trust because a lot of the grocery store brands use green-washing techniques to make their product sound healthier and more ethical when in reality, they aren’t being completely transparent on how their animals are raised and processed. We have learned so much since looking more into factory farming practices vs. regenerative farming and one of our goals is to share this information with those around us, as we wish we knew a lot of this sooner.
Processing and Pricing
At Muller Farms, we raise our chickens the way nature intended—on fresh pasture, with daily moves to new grass, sunshine, and plenty of room to forage. From the moment they arrive as chicks, their lives are rooted in our commitment to ethical, regenerative, and sustainable farming.
We also believe the way an animal leaves this world matters just as much as how it lived. That’s why we process all of our broiler chickens here on the farm. This eliminates the stress of transportation and allows us to ensure that every bird is handled with care and dignity from start to finish.
Our broilers average 4.5 to 5.5 pounds dressed (finished weight), and are sold whole, frozen, and vacuum-sealed at $6/lb. Each whole chicken takes up about 0.25 cubic feet of freezer space, so storing multiple birds is easy and efficient.
We raise a limited number of birds each year, and they tend to sell out quickly. This batch of broilers will be processed mid-July. To guarantee your share of this season’s harvest, place your order below.
**A deposit of $5 per bird is required with each order. Balance is due upon pick up at the farm.
