We are vertically integrated and oversee every process within the company, from our chicks hatching at our family-owned hatchery, being placed within our community of more than 180 farm families, to owning two feed mills that process our corn and soybean meal mixture. We do our best to source our feed ingredients from local farmers to minimize our carbon footprint. We strive to be a company of dedicated, faithful people who ethically produce naturally grown poultry for consumers who enjoy wholesome, great-tasting food.
