Iron Root Pastures

Two weeks on pasture, and these little birdies are absolutely thriving. 🐥🌱

This year we built a new brooder out of an upcycled shipping container, and honestly, it’s been our most successful setup yet. With the unusually cold nights we had this spring, we decided to keep the chicks inside an extra week before moving them to pasture. Sometimes the best farming decisions are simply waiting until the animals are ready.

Now they’re out enjoying fresh grass, sunshine, bugs, and all the things chickens were designed to enjoy.

One thing you’ll learn quickly about our farm: we rarely throw anything away. We love giving materials a second life. These chicken shelters were built from recycled billboard tarps and bits and pieces from projects that didn’t quite work out elsewhere around the farm. They may not be fancy, and they’re definitely still a work in progress, but they work beautifully for the way we raise our birds and for the terrain of our pastures.

Every day, we move them to fresh grass and protect them with portable polywire fencing to help keep predators at bay. It’s a simple system that allows our chickens to express their natural behaviors while fertilizing the land as they go.

Have you ever thought about raising your own meat birds? They’re one of the easiest livestock to get started with, and there’s something incredibly rewarding about raising your own food.

But we also know life gets busy. Not everyone has the time, space, or desire to raise chickens themselves and that’s okay!! That’s why we’re here 🤗 We’re passionate about doing the hard work for families who want clean, thoughtfully raised food without having to manage the daily chores, fencing, feed runs, and predator patrol.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to raise food for our community and provide your family with the cleanest chicken we know how to produce.
