Our distribution and wholesale partners have access to fresh and frozen products, and our chicken sold online is frozen to ensure its safety throughout its transport.

Our chicken is shipped in an insulated box on dry ice. Prior to shipping, the chicken is stored at -10 F and will generally take 5+ days to reach internal temperatures of 32 F. Most of our online customers receive their chicken within 1-2 days from the ship date.

No, we only ship orders on Mondays and Tuesday to ensure that orders never sit in a warehouse over the weekend.

Our birds live the first 3 weeks of their lives in the brooder so they can develop their feathers to better regulate their own body temperature. As soon as they are ready, they move out to the pasture for the remainder of their lives where they can run around in the grass and forage freely.

They’re moved to a new section of pasture every day!

The active outdoor lifestyle of our birds, in tandem with our certified organic feed and certified organic pasture, leads to a happier, healthier, and tastier chicken as opposed to confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) that make up over 99% of chicken sold in the U.S. food system.

Healthy birds start with healthy soil. Microorganisms, with the help of sunshine and clean water, help break down chicken manure into vital nutrients that feed the soil biology. When the chickens move back to the renourished section of land, the chickens then reap the benefits by consuming the nutrient-rich grasses. Our rotational grazing system adds more organic matter to the soil and leaves healthier grassland behind over time.

One of our many certifications is the Certified Humane certification. We’re proud to offer our birds a superior lifestyle that is free from stress.

Greener Pastures Chicken values animal welfare as a top priority for our company. As such, we are committing to offer chicken that aligns with the Better Chicken Commitment. At Greener Pastures, our farms: 

1. Maintain a maximum stocking density of 4.0 lbs./sq. foot and prohibit all forms of broiler confinement, including cages.
2. Provide all birds with an improved baseline environment, including:
3. At least 4 inches of friable litter covering the whole floor of the house, managed to maintain dry, friable condition and prevent caked or wet areas.
4. At minimum 8 hours of continuous light (≥50 lux) and 8 hours of continuous darkness daily (<1 lux).
5. One or more types of functional enrichment (such as perches, platforms, or straw bales) that multiple birds can use at any time. The enrichments must be available by 10 days old and maintained thereafter, dispersed throughout the house and available to the entire flock with 1 enrichment for every 1,000 sq. ft or 1 enrichment per 1000 birds, at a minimum.
6. Use only BCC-approved breeds that demonstrate higher welfare outcomes for BCC products.
7. As a small producer, we ensure all birds are pre-slaughter stunned with no live dumping. We will adopt CAS when it is commercially available, including mobile slaughter options, and will evaluate the market on an annual basis.
8. Demonstrate compliance with all standards via third-party auditing and annual public reporting on progress toward this commitment.

Our birds are never raised with antibiotics or hormones.

We’re proud to hold the most certifications in the industry: USDA Organic, Real Organic Project, Regenerative Organic Certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, GoTexan, and Certified Humane. These certifications require strenuous adherence to guidelines and standards that our farm team works 365 days a year to meet!

Their certified organic feed can include any of the following ingredients: soy, corn, sorghum, sunflower, alfalfa, vitamins, and trace minerals.

Yes, our chicken is gluten free.

We feed USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified corn and soy as part of a much more diverse feedstock to our chickens to ensure their baseline nutritional needs are met. In addition to their feed, our chickens supplement their diets with native pasture grasses, bugs, and grit. We prioritize their supplemental diets by moving the birds to fresh pasture every day. Our farm and feed ingredients are never sprayed with harmful pesticides, herbicides, or desiccants like that of their conventional, "natural," and strictly "Non-GMO" counterparts.

We have over 40 products available to our distribution and wholesale partners. Our website offers our most popular items in categorized bundles.
