We are in our sixth year of our dedication to raising the highest quality, all natural pasture raised chicken in Berryville, Arkansas. Our USDA label has quickly earned us a reputation for producing the finest birds which are fed only natural non-GMO whole grains which we grind and mix ourselves, no steroids, no animal by-products, antibiotics while being treated humanely and grown with love.
In the spring, summer and fall, the chickens are raised in pasture pens in the field which are moved daily by hand onto fresh grass. They are pastured in small natural groups of about 75. This arrangement allows the birds to interact with one another, chase bugs, sunbathe and take dust-baths. The pasture pens are moved daily, allowing our chickens access to fresh grass. Their feed is a special mix ground here at Little Portion Hermitage. Such a healthy lifestyle results in a superior bird. The meat has a better taste, is firmer in texture and has a lower cooking weight loss than conventionally raised chickens. Our freerange chickens have 21% less total fat, 30% less saturated fat and 28% fewer calories than their factory-farmed counterparts.
