Pasture-Raised Chicken
Pasture-raised chicken from our farm lives the way a chicken is meant to live — outside, on fresh grass, moved to new pasture every single day. The birds scratch, forage bugs and critters in the grass, and soak up sun and fresh air. We never use antibiotics, vaccines, or added hormones.
This isn’t the “free-range” you see on a grocery label, where “access to the outdoors” can mean one door cracked open in a crowded barn. Our birds are genuinely out on grass, and we move their shelters daily so they wake up on a clean bed of pasture each morning. Compare that to industrial poultry — confined, packed tight, fed antibiotic-laced feed just to survive — and you’ll see why we believe there’s a better way.

The Right Feed
Grass alone isn’t a complete diet for our chickens, so we give free access to a Non-GMO, soy-free ration milled locally in Pennsylvania. But a good part of what they eat, they find themselves out in the grass. Bug, worms, grasses and clovers, as the saying goes “You are what you eat.” You will taste the difference in our chicken, and that difference starts with their diet.
What You'll Find Here
Whole chickens for Sunday dinner, breasts and tenders for weeknights, plus specialty picks like chicken backs and feet for stock and wings for the weekend get-together . We use a small USDA inspected processor to ensure quality from start to finish.
Filling the freezer? We sell bulk chicken several times a year, with a deeper discount on 12 or more chickens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Grass-fed vs grass-finished
What's the difference between pasture-raised and free-range chicken?
“Free-range” only requires outdoor access — often a small door on a packed barn. Pasture-raised means our birds live on grass and move to fresh pasture daily.
Are your birds actually outside?
Yes, directly on fresh grass, with their open air shelters moved daily.
How is this different from industrial chicken?
Industrial birds are confined, packed tight, and fed antibiotic-laced feed; ours forage outdoors and never get antibiotics.
Do you process the chicken yourselves?
No, we send these chickens to a small USDA inspected processor in Lancaster PA.
Are the birds given antibiotics, vaccines, or hormones?
No to all three.
Cuts and cooking
Is the chicken sold fresh or frozen?
Shipped chicken arrives frozen. Around our bulk-chicken dates you can pick it up at the farm and get it fresh- not frozen.
How big are your whole chickens?
Sizes vary by batch; the current weight range is on the product page.
What cuts do you sell?
Whole chickens, breasts, tenders, leg quarters, thighs, drumsticks, wings, feet, hearts, livers and chicken backs.
What are chicken backs good for?
Chicken backs are excellent to be used for making nutrient dense stocks and bone broths. People will also use them for pet food.
Feed and how they're raised
What do your chickens eat?
Bugs, grass, and forage on pasture, plus a Non-GMO, soy-free feed from a local Pennsylvania mill.
Is your chicken soy-free and Non-GMO?
That’s right, we don’t use any GMO’s or soy with our chickens. Or anywhere on our farm for that matter.
Is the feed corn-free?
We are non-gmo and soy free, our feed does have corn in it.
How often are the birds moved?
Daily, to fresh pasture.
Why does pasture-raised chicken cost more?
More land, labor, and time than confinement farming. The price reflects how the birds are raised.
Buying, bulk & shipping
Can I buy chicken in bulk?
Yes — several times a year, with an extra discount on 12 or more birds. You can browse current bulk chicken options and other bulk-buy packages here: Freedom Valley Farm Bulk Buys.
How does bulk chicken work?
You pick the number of chickens you want and if you want them cut up or whole. Then pay a $5 deposit per bird and pickup or have shipped your order, and pay your balance at that time. You get our best price because we don’t have to store or inventory this chicken.
Can I get my chicken cut into parts?
Yes, you can have your fresh chicken cut into breasts, leg and thigh, tenders, wings and backs. Each cut will be individually packaged. When placing a deposit on fresh chicken, you must order in quantities of 4.
How is the chicken shipped and packaged?
All chicken gets vacuum sealed and individually labeled. If you choose shipping’s e ship via UPS and you will get an email with tracking info.
How far ahead should I order?
Stock moves, especially around bulk dates — order early for the best selection.
Why Choose Freedom Valley Farm
“Pasture-raised” gets stamped on a lot of labels that don’t mean much. On our farm it’s literal — the birds are moved to fresh grass daily and we use non-GMO + soy free feed, and we say no to antibiotics, vaccines and added hormones. We control the quality from start to finish. We’re a real family doing this by hand, not a label on a box.
