Why You Should Choose Pasture Raised Chicken

Written by: Blaine Ward / Marketing Team and Blogger

Odds are you have heard the term Pasture Raised Chicken before.  However, you may not have heard all the benefits of choosing Pasture Raised Chicken.  Often, we overlook food labels, only to focus our attention on the price of the product.  As I’ve mentioned before in previous blogs, our health may suffer in the long run if we only focus on the price of our food instead of the quality.  Pasture Raised Chicken is a product you want to invest in for more reasons than one. 

What is Pasture Raised Chicken? 

To put it simply, Pasture Raised Chicken is chicken that has been raised on pasture.  Chickens raised on fresh pasture can forage as nature intended with bugs, grains, grass, and legumes all underneath one big, beautiful, blue sky! With room to move, they have plenty of opportunities to explore and scratch in the morning sun.  Another benefit of raising Pasture Raised Chicken is the improvement of soil health.  The chicken manure enriches the soil and prevents diseased pastures.  Not only, is Pasture Raised Chicken beneficial for the soil, but it's also very beneficial to our health. Research has shown that pasture raised chicken is 2.3 times higher in heart-healthy omega-3 fats and 90% lower in inflammatory omega-6 fats than their commercially raised counterparts. In other words, healthier chicken makes for healthier people.
