Keene Organics 

Pastured chickens are raised free ranging outside on pasture. Along with necessary wholesome grains, they eat lush green grasses, legumes, clovers, seeds, bugs, and worms. They are moved consistently to fresh pasture, which allows them a clean living environment. All while basking in the summer sun! These humanely raised chickens have superior flavor and texture, are incredibly tasty, and are much more nutritious than factory farmed poultry. Pastured poultry uses the best farming practices for the animal, environment, consumers, and the farmer.

We are one of the fewlocal farms that feed our chickens a 100% organic diet. From the certified organic feed to the certified organic grasses, our chickens receive the healthiest of diets and living conditions. We don’t use medications, antibiotics, meat by products, GMO’s, or other unnatural practices.

Pastured chickens are also higher in Omega-3’s, Vitamin A&D, and CLA. Our chickens also have the beneficial fats that lower cholesterol and greatly reduce degenerative disease in the consumer! Since we don’t add sodium solutions during processing, they also don’t shrink much when cooking.  A 4-6lb. chicken can serve 2-4 meals for a family of four. The first meal may be a roasted chicken.  Use leftovers for chicken salad, pasta, pot pie, etc.,  then use the remaining chicken for chicken broth  or soup. See our recipes!

We are a certified organic farm, but since we don’t have a local certified organic processor, we can't put the certified organic seal on our chicken. Our chickens are raised using USDA organic standards except the processing. We process our chickens at a small USDA facility as the first batch in the morning in a low stress environment. No sodium solutions are added during processing.

Our land is lightly fertilized by our chickens, producing lush green healthy pastures without manure run-off that leads to our lakes, streams, and water table. These sustainable agricultural practices result in food that is good for you and our environment. You’re not paying for hidden costs of medication, antibiotics, and environmental clean-up produced by factory chicken farms.  We can’t compete with the price of conventional chicken, nor would we want to, but talk to us about how to eat organically economically.  We practice small family farming and would never consider being a factory farm. You are getting your money’s worth!

Since we only raise these chickens during the best of Wisconsin’s spring and summers, we produce a limited amount of chickens, so to get exactly what you would like, pre-ordering is recommended. It allows us to plan for the demand of our chickens.  We offer a 10% discount for pre-orders. Otherwise, we will have them at the farmer’s markets until we sell out.  Email us and we will send you an order form.
