Pasture-Raised, Ethical, and Delicious
At Rabbit Ridge Farms, we believe that happy, healthy chickens make for better food and a better planet. That’s why we raise our chickens using pasture-based, regenerative farming practices that prioritize animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and high-quality nutrition.
If you’ve ever wondered what makes our pasture-raised chickens different from conventional poultry, let’s take you behind the scenes at Rabbit Ridge Farms.
Many people have heard terms like “free-range” and “cage-free,” but pasture-raised is the gold standard when it comes to raising chickens ethically and naturally.
Pasture-raised means our chickens live outside, not in crowded barns.
They have ample space to roam, scratch, and forage for bugs, seeds, and fresh grass.
Instead of standing in their own waste, they move to fresh pasture regularly, keeping them healthy and reducing disease naturally.
This results in richer, more flavorful meat and more nutrient-dense eggs.
At Rabbit Ridge Farms, our chickens spend the majority of their lives outdoors, doing what chickens are meant to do—exploring, dust-bathing, and pecking at the ground.
Our chickens have a diverse diet that comes straight from nature, which leads to better nutrition and taste.
Forage & Insects: Our chickens naturally supplement their diet by hunting for insects, worms, and grass seeds. This makes them healthier and adds to the depth of flavor in their meat.
No Antibiotics or Hormones: We never use antibiotics or growth hormones. Instead, we focus on preventative care, rotational grazing, and stress-free handling to keep our flocks healthy naturally.
One of the most important aspects of our farming system is rotational grazing. This means we move our chickens to fresh pasture every few days, mimicking the way animals naturally interact with the land.
Healthier Soil – Chicken manure is a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil without synthetic chemicals.
Happier Birds – With constant access to fresh ground, our chickens live in a clean, stress-free environment.
Sustainable Farming – This method regenerates the land, prevents overgrazing, and reduces the environmental impact of poultry farming.
Instead of confining thousands of birds in an enclosed barn, our chickens live in mobile coops that allow them to move freely while still having protection from predators at night.
Ethical & Humane Treatment
At Rabbit Ridge Farms, our chickens are raised with care, respect, and attention to their natural instincts.
Plenty of Space: Unlike factory-farmed birds, our chickens have room to move, stretch their wings, and engage in natural behaviors.
Low-Stress Environment: Handling is kept to a minimum, and when necessary, we do so gently and calmly.
A Natural Life Cycle: Our birds grow at their own pace, free from artificial interventions.
If you’ve ever had pasture-raised chicken, you know it’s a completely different experience from conventional supermarket poultry.
Deeper Flavor: Their varied diet and natural lifestyle create richer, more flavorful meat.
Better Texture: Unlike factory-farmed chickens that grow too fast, our birds develop at a natural rate, leading to better muscle quality and firmer texture.
More Nutrients: If you love chicken, pasture-raised meat from farms like ours contain more omega-3s, vitamin D, and antioxidants compared to store-bought alternatives.
