Now, you may be wondering, why do we raise heritage poultry if they lay fewer eggs? The answer is simple yet profound. Heritage-breed poultry is slow-growing and enjoys long, productive lives. This aligns perfectly with our hatch-to-harvest program, making it practical for us to raise heritage poultry. Moreover, we find that slow-growth birds offer a superior taste and texture, which we prefer.

Vision for the future

Do you know where your food was grown or the farmer that grew it? Research on where we get our food shows that most food is grown about 1500 miles from your plate. Scientists studying locally grown food indicate that fruits and vegetables lose nutrients during the long journey to your local grocery store. The sooner you eat fruit and vegetable after it is picked, the more nutrients they provide. Local food isn’t transported long distances, which is also better for our environment.
