Looking for FARM FRESH chickens raised naturally & humanely??

Does the idea of confined chickens cramped together and raised on hormones & antibiotics to gain weight quickly and which ultimately end up on your plate disgust you???  Then you've come to the right place!!!!

As apposed to "factory farming" to produce broiler chickens and "battery hens" to produce eggs, me and my hubby will be raising our chickens the way our Creator intended!!! Our Creator NEVER EVER intended for chickens, or any other farm animals for that matter, to be confined.  (Read more about this in my article "What does our CREATOR say??")

We will be raising pastured chickens that feed on the foods they were meant to eat. NO pre-packaged feed laced with antibiotics or steroids .... ONLY natural food that their instinct tells them to eat!!!  And what is the end result??  Happy & healthy chickens of course which is far more nutritious than those confined in factory farms!!!

Pastured chickens are cared for gently and humanely and are nourished by fresh air, sunshine and the diverse forage of the pasture/open field. Reflecting their natural diet, the MEAT of pastured poultry is tastier, juicier, leaner and also rich in micronutrients, vitamins (particularly A, C & E) and minerals. It also has a greater percentage of health-promoting fats, including twice as much omega-3 fatty acids. The EGGS produced by pasture hens  lookfeeltaste different from the "conventional" ones you buy @ your local supermarket and are much more nutritious. The shells are much stronger while the yolks are orange and not flat like what most people have become accustomed to. And trust me ...... once you've tasted the REAL McCoy (the way chicken/eggs are meant to taste) you'll never go back to the supermarket again!!!

So, say "goodbye" to unnatural steroid raised chickens/eggs today and "hello" to our natural grass-fed pastured chickens/eggs!!!

What does our CREATOR say??

In Genesis 1:28 God said to man : "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 

In the above verse it seems as if God gives man free rein to do anything he wants to the planet—bend it to his uses and abuses, rape it of all its beauty and diversity—for his own benefit.  HOWEVER, God certainly did NOT give man the authority to degrade and destroy His earth!!!

In Genesis 2:15 we read on : "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." 

The above verse contains a parallel account of creation, adding detail to certain parts of the narrative of the first chapter.  The word KEEP ("shamar" in Hebrew) means "to exercise great care over" & the word DRESS ("abad" in Hebrew) means "to work or serve". THUS : God's ultimate wish is that mankind should "take care of," "guard," or "watch over" the garden & everything in it. 

And a good caretaker maintains and protects his charge so that he can return it to its owner in as good or better condition than when he received it!!!

And this is me and my hubby's goal ...... to be good stewards of the earth and be worthy to receive the many blessings from our Heavenly Father.
