About the Farm
Background

Practices
The farm employs pasture-raising methods for their chickens, ensuring that the animals have access to open land and natural foraging opportunities. This practice not only benefits the chickens' health but also contributes to the fertility and vitality of the soil, creating a symbiotic relationship between the animals and the land.
