Pasture-Raised Chicken
"Marion Acres' chicken is the best local, pasture-raised chicken I've ever tasted! My family raved about it! Clean, rich tasting, fresh, juicy and pasture plump. The meat is gone and the bones are ready to be made into stock!"

OUR MOST COMMON QUESTION IS:
Q. WHAT ARE THE CHICKENS FED?
A. Besides the chemical & pesticide-free green grass, dandelions, clover, & bugs that the chickens eat throughout the day, they also receive a certified gmo-free feed ration.
ABOUT OUR FEED:
When we say that we supplement our chickens with a "feed ration", that means that we only feed them a specific amount of feed, once a day. We do not offer continuous feed, which means when their food runs out mid morning, they spend the rest of the day foraging on the weeds & bugs. We move them to a fresh plot of grass every single day so they always have something fresh to forage on in the pasture.
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE:
For our pasture, we don't spray... at all. We don't use fertilizer... at all. We don't ship any waste off the farm. Everything is turned back onto the land. The waste water from our processing facility is saved and applied to the pasture (it has nutrients we worked hard to grow... no way we're going to throw that away). We compost all of the offal and that compost is spread back onto the fields to build the soil.
Know that we are doing all we can to ensure our poultry are eating the best feed we can provide them; ultimately giving you the healthiest and most nutritious meat possible.
