Pasture-Raised Fresh Whole Chickens

Here at Sonrise Farms all our chickens are raised on pasture.

Fresh chickens in any quantity can be purchased three times each year. Frozen chickens and chicken cuts can be purchased farm store, but quantities are limited.


What is Pasture-raised chicken?

Pasture-raised poultry in its simplest form means poultry raised on grass.

Why raise chickens, turkeys, ducks or any poultry in this manner? Hasn't poultry been raised in large building with no exposure to the outdoors for decades?

Yes, that is the way things have been done…but is it the correct way to raise poultry?

Chickens and all poultry were designed by God to exercise by scratching, digging and chasing bugs. To be healthy they need this exercise plus plenty of fresh air, sunshine, green grass and protein such as bugs or grains.

What about the taste?

The texture is firmer because of the exercise. The meat has a great taste with a fuller, richer flavor than conventionally raised poultry.



I have been eating your meat for years and absolutely love it! Your chicken is great for my brother who has allergies to beef and pork. He will hardly eat the “store junk!” Thank you for your service of providing excellent meats!
