While we no longer provide chicks or pullets for sale, we continue to provide information for those interested in keeping chickens in an organic manner, as well as keeping chickens in your backyard.

We have been raising

chickens at Greener

Pastures Farm in a

totally organic manner

since 1999.  Our

chickens have always

been kept on fresh

pasture year round, and have always been fed certified organically grown grains.  We do not include fish products, soy products or bone meal in our special feed recipe, to ensure total "organic-ness" and good health in our birds. 

Our newly hatched chicks also receive whole grains.  Ground grains (such as those in commercial chicken feed) lose much of their nutrients within hours of being ground, and anything spilled is wasted.  Unground grains are not wasted, as any spills can be picked up and eaten later, before or after they sprout!

In this age where it's now easy to clone and delete parts of photographs,

and some farmers and webmasters are doing this to published photos of their livestock,

please note that all photos on this website are unaltered in any way!

Colors, conformation, etc are exactly as depicted.

We keep Marans, Buff Orpington, Ameraucana and

Ancona chickens for our own egg production.

It is possible to raise hens in town or within city limits,

but don't miss the informative pages on the Organic

Chickens website before making any calls to your

city officials, because how you phrase the question

may well determine the answer you receive.  See our

Backyard page for more information, and don't miss

our Housing pages for photos of arks, chicken

tractors and hen houses, as well as our informative

pages on brooding chicks, the best books to own,

and recipes for making your own feed, as well as

links to purchasing organic pre-mixed feeds.  Click on
