In this personal and down-to-earth episode, Rip Stalvey shares why poultry nutrition isn't just about feed—it's about the food we ultimately serve our families. When we raise backyard chickens, their health, egg quality, and meat flavor are a direct reflection of what we put in their feeders. That's why we say: We are what we eat, eats.You'll learn how intentional poultry feeding choices—like balanced amino acids, calcium, high-quality fats, and grit—make all the difference. We'll explore why pasture access isn't enough without a complete feed, how to improve egg yolk color and shell strength, and how feeding for each bird's purpose (layers, broilers, or breeders) leads to better outcomes.Whether you're feeding laying hens, raising broilers, or managing a dual-purpose flock, this episode provides real-life guidance on how to make smarter, more sustainable feed choices—even on a budget.This conversation is for anyone who wants healthier birds, better eggs, and more flavorful meat. Because feeding your chickens isn't just farm work—it's food work.Visit https://www.thepoultrykeeperspodcast.com to leave a voice message, get more resources, and join our growing community of intentional poultry keepers.#PoultryKeepersPodcast, #BackyardChickens, #ChickenNutrition, #IntentionalFeeding, #WeAreWhatWeEatEats, #LayerHenCare, #BetterEggs, #FeedForFlavor, #BackyardBroilers, #PoultryHealth, #ChickenFeedingTips, #FarmToTable, #PastureRaised, #FeedMatters, and #SustainablePoultry You can email us at - poultrykeeperspodcast@gmail.comJoin our Facebook Groups:Poultry Keepers Podcast - https://www.facebook.com/groups/907679597724837Poultry Keepers 360 - - https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125Poultry Breeders Nutrition - https://www.facebook.com/groups/4908798409211973Check out the Poultry Kepers Podcast YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@PoultryKeepersPodcast/featured

Summary:In this insightful episode of the Regenerative By Design Podcast, host Joni Kindwall-Moore sits down with regenerative farmer and rancher Gregg Deponte for an enlightening conversation about pasture-raised pork and its unexpected benefits for environmental health and community economies.Gregg, who transitioned from his tropical horticulture roots in Hawaii to regenerative farming in Colville, Washington, shares his unique journey. He explains how pigs, traditionally considered nature's bulldozers, can actually serve as powerful tools for rehabilitating land, managing invasive species, and improving soil health. The conversation delves into the challenges and opportunities of regenerative pork production, the intricacies of feed quality, and the need for more accessible processing infrastructure to support smaller farms.The discussion also touches on broader issues, including the health benefits of pasture-raised pork, especially concerning inflammatory diseases, and the difficulties faced by small-scale farmers in accessing markets due to industry consolidation. Gregg proposes innovative solutions, like community-supported cooperative models and diversified product lines that cater to both high-end and economically accessible markets.This conversation offers fresh perspectives on sustainable agriculture, the complex dynamics of local food systems, and practical steps toward creating healthier food options while addressing critical ecological issues.Website: www.olaainafarms.com Key TakeawaysHere are the key takeaways from Joni Kindwall-Moore's interview with Gregg Deponte on the Regenerative by Design Podcast:1. Pigs as Ecological Tools:Gregg highlights pigs' surprising ability to manage invasive weeds, rehabilitate damaged land, and create healthier forest understories, particularly useful in wildfire-prone regions.2. Economic Challenges of Regenerative Farming:Gregg shares the difficulties faced by small farmers in accessing processing facilities and markets due to industry monopolization, limiting their economic viability and growth opportunities.3. Health Benefits of Pasture-Raised Pork:Pasture-raised pork fed with locally-grown, chemical-free grains significantly reduces harmful omega-6 fatty acid ratios, providing healthier meat options compared to conventionally farmed pork.4. Cultural & Culinary Influence:Gregg's Hawaiian heritage and Asian culinary traditions influence his approach to regenerative farming, demonstrating how cultural roots can shape sustainable agricultural practices.5.

When it comes to shopping for food and supplements, one crucial skill is the ability to decipher nutrition labels. Despite ridiculous labeling laws, it's like the Wild West out there, making it incredibly difficult to understand nutrition labels. In today's episode, I dive into the top 14 marketing claims on product labels that are often meaningless and misleading. Plus, I'll share tips on what you should keep an eye out for when navigating the grocery and supplement aisles. In this episode, I discuss: 01:25 - All Natural Label Claims 02:07 - Fat Free or Low Fat Labels 03:34 - Fortified with Vitamins and Minerals 04:37 - Gluten Free 05:33 - Great Source of Vitamins 07:50 - Grass-Fed and Pasture-Raised 10:25 - Heart Healthy 11:18 - No Sugar Added 13:54 - Non-GMO 14:59 - Organic 17:36 - Plant-Based and Vegan 18:54 - Sugar-Free 20:30 - Artificial Sweetener 21:06 - Vegetarian Fed 23:14 - Tips for Healthier Grocery Shopping Learn more from Michael Kummer: Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order at https://shop.michaelkummer.com/ Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ Instagram: @mkummer82 Resources for label claims: All Natural The term “all natural” is completely meaningless and does not signify whether a product or its ingredients are healthy. Examples of “all natural” compounds you wouldn't want in your diet include arsenic, E. coli, lead, gluten, linoleic acid and phytoestrogens. When I see products with this label, I view it as an indication that the brand is trying hard to make an unhealthy product look healthy. As a result, I recommend you steer clear of such products unless you're an experienced label reader. Fat-Free (or Low Fat) The terms “fat-free” and “low fat” are misleading labels that many people associate with healthy products because there is still a misconception that fat (particularly saturated fat and cholesterol) is terrible for your health. As discussed in this article, saturated fat is actually good for your health. It doesn't clog your arteries, and it doesn't increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. While I have no issue with certain (naturally) fat-free foods, such as sweet fruits, I recommend staying away from most processed foods that are labeled as fat-free. After all, removing fat from a product almost always means adding sugar — fat-free yogurt being a prime example. I recommend buying plain, full-fat products made with A2 milk if you like yogurt. We make our own yogurt using full-fat milk from 100% grass-fed cows. Fortified (Cereals, Crackers) Many parents feed their kids fortified foods in an effort to ensure they get an adequate amount of micronutrients. The problem is that junk food that has been “fortified” with synthetic vitamins (that the body can't absorb) is still junk food. I'm specifically referring to cereals or crackers. In other words, if the food you feed your kids isn't naturally nutrient-dense, you shouldn't be providing it in the first place. Remember, most processed foods contain inflammatory ingredients, such as grains, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils that can damage the delicate lining inside the gut and cause chronic inflammation among other issues. Additionally, the body poorly absorbs synthetic minerals and vitamins added to fortified foods and most of them end up in the toilet. Meat, fat and organs from responsibly raised and wild-caught animals, pastured egg yolks and raw dairy are naturally rich in nutrients and do not require fortification. But if your kids are like mine and don't like the taste of organs or are sensitive to dairy or eggs, consider sneaking them into meatballs or patties (we have been successfully doing that with ours) or offering them freeze-dried beef liver capsules. Our six and eight-year-olds get a whole serving of liver every day in the form of freeze-dried liver capsules. Gluten-Free None of the products I consider to be fit for human consumption — responsibly raised animals, pastured eggs, raw honey and sweet fruits — are natural sources of gluten. In other words, you'll likely only see that label on processed products you shouldn't be eating on a regular basis anyway. Regardless, a “gluten-free” designation can be helpful for those who suffer from celiac disease. The problem is that many people who don't have celiac disease equate “gluten-free” with healthy, which is often not the case. For example, gluten free cookies that contain almond flour and vegetable oil aren't any healthier than those made with wheat flour and butter. In fact, I'd argue that wheat flour is healthier (though not healthy) than a combination of almond flour and vegetable oil, since the latter combo has twice the potential to irritate your gut and negatively impact your metabolism. Of course, like I said above: if you have celiac disease and even trace amounts of gluten can set off an allergic reaction, the label gluten-free is meaningful. But even in that case, I'd argue that buying only products that are naturally gluten-free is the better (and healthier) option than buying products that were made gluten-free. Great Source of Vitamins While gut microbes can produce certain micronutrients, we need to obtain many of them from the food we eat. As a result, consuming nutrient-dense foods is vital for optimal health. However, many micronutrients exist in various forms in nature, and not all of those forms are readily absorbable. For example, meat (and in particular, organ meat such as liver) contains retinol, a highly absorbable and bioavailable type of preformed vitamin A. Plants, on the other hand, have beta carotene and other precursors of vitamin A that are poorly absorbed and not very bioavailable. The same goes for iron, vitamin K and other micronutrients. So if you see products at the grocery store that claim to be an excellent source of certain vitamins or minerals, know that there's a good chance the body will poorly absorb the nutrients contained in those foods. Examples include spinach (non-heme-iron, Vitamin K1) and carrots (beta carotene). The best source of vitamins and minerals is organ meat from ruminant animals and, in particular, liver. That's why I decided to launch a line of freeze-dried organ meat supplements to offer readily-absorbable nutrients to those who don't like the taste or texture of fresh organs. Grass-Fed When we buy beef or meat from other ruminant animals, we try to find grass-fed options because grass (as opposed to grains) is those animals' appropriate diet. The thing is that all cows are fed grass at some stage of their life. For example, after being weaned from their mother's milk, calves have to eat grass to properly develop. But after that developmental period, most of them are moved to a feedlot to fatten up on grains. As a result, brands can claim their products — including meat, milk and cheese — are grass-fed, despite the fact that the animal was eating GMO grains (including corn and soy) for the majority of its life. Kerrygold — a popular brand that sells “grass-fed” butter and cheese — uses this misleading tactic. A judge recently ruled that the company can continue using the grass-fed label because they're not saying their products are 100% grass-fed. The moral of the story is that the term grass-fed doesn't mean much. Instead, look for products that come from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished and pasture-raised animals. My 100% grass-fed beef liver capsules fall into that category. The brands we trust for 100% grass-fed products include White Oak Pastures, Maple Hill, Alexandre Family Farms (not all their products are 100% grass-fed) and a bunch of local farms here in the Atlanta area. If you live near me, reply to this email and I'll hook you up with some names. Healthy Ingredients (heart healthy) The USDA says whole grains are healthy. Advocates of plant-based diets claim that eating plants is healthy. And some people think that “everything in moderation” is a good adage to live by. I don't agree with any of those assessments, but it illustrates that the word “healthy” on a food label may not mean anything because there is no universally accepted definition of what healthy means. I'd say that most products that claim healthy ingredients on their label are trying to appeal to an audience that doesn't know what “healthy” means. I recommend being critical of products that use terms like “healthy ingredients” on their label. Chances are the product actually contains unhealthy ingredients. No Added Sugar Added sugar (together with seed oils) is one of the main factors contributing to the deteriorating health of our society. As a result, products that contain no added sugars are often (but not always) better than those that have them. However, it's essential to understand that a bag of potato chips made with inflammatory vegetable oils is bad for you, even if it doesn't contain added sugars. The same applies to fruit juices. For example, apple juice — with or without added sugar (much like most other liquid carbohydrates) — is unhealthy because it raises your blood glucose levels aggressively while providing relatively limited nutritional value. Additionally, there's a trick that some brands use to add sugar without having to declare it as such. I'm referring to the use of fruit juices, which don't count as “added sugars” as far as labeling laws are concerned, but are still sugar. Non-GMO For produce, the label “non-GMO” means that the seeds of the plants used to make the product weren't genetically modified (e.g., for better resistance to pests). However, it doesn't mean that the plants weren't modified using traditional cross-breeding techniques or selection. For example, the wheat we grow today (even the few non-GMO varieties that are left) has very little in common with the ancient grains our ancestors may have consumed thousands of years ago. The problem is that with every genetic change we make, we also introduce new types of proteins that our bodies are not accustomed to. As a result, we increase the likelihood of allergic reactions or sensitivities. The same principle applies to other plants, including fruits and starchy tubers. Tubers that grew hundreds or thousands of years ago were less sweet and much more fibrous, so they were undoubtedly not the staple that modern tubers are. The bottom line is that “non-GMO” is a step in the right direction, but it's not the holy grail of food. Also, non-GMO junk food is still junk food. On a side note, if a food is labeled as organic, it's automatically non-GMO as well. Organic We buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible because we want to limit our exposure to chemicals. However, most people don't know that organic doesn't mean “chemical-free.” The USDA maintains a list of allowed chemicals farmers can use to grow organic produce, and many of them aren't good for your health. In other words, by buying organic produce you get exposed to fewer chemicals than when buying conventionally grown produce, but you won't escape those toxins completely. The other trick some organic brands use is to grow fruits (especially berries and leafy greens) in water rather than soil to reduce the need for pesticides. Unfortunately, healthy soil is one of the most important factors in growing nutrient-dense food, and replacing that with liquid plant food isn't the same thing. As a result, you can expect the organic berries you find at Costco, Whole Foods and other places to be significantly less nutrient-dense than those organically grown in soil. Here's the thing: we like berries but we don't eat them because of their nutrients (we get those from organ meats). We just eat them because we like how they taste. And as long as they're free of most toxins, we're OK with that. On a side note, we grow a good portion of the berries we eat in our backyard without using any chemicals (organic or otherwise). Pastured/Pasture-Raised Until a few years ago, I thought that pasture-raised also meant 100% grass-fed. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Some brands make pasture-raised claims even if the animals didn't spend their entire lives on a pasture. But even 100% pasture-raised animals may have had access to grain-based feed. For products containing the meat or milk of ruminant animals, it's best to look for 100% pasture-raised and 100% grass-fed labels. For pork and poultry, the label pastured is a good indication of appropriate living conditions. However, it doesn't mean that the animals weren't fed a diet that may negatively impact your health (and that of the animal). For example, virtually all pigs and chickens in this country are fed a diet heavy in corn and soy, increasing the inflammatory omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio in their fat tissue. That's the main reason we limit our pork and chicken intake. On a side note, White Oak Pastures (where we buy a lot of the beef and chicken we consume) recently stopped feeding their chickens corn and soy, and their pigs are next on the list for this welcome upgrade! Plant-Based/Vegan Unfortunately, many people still believe that consuming plants is good for our health. As a result, plant-based products are considered healthy. The truth is that the opposite is usually the case, because many plant-based processed foods (e.g., cooking oils, sausages or fake meat patties) are filled with unhealthy ingredients, including seed oils. Just compare the ingredient list of a Beyond Burger patty (25 ingredients) with a regular pattie (one ingredient), and you'll realize what I'm talking about. As a result, I avoid processed foods that are labeled vegan or plant-based. Instead, I always choose 100% grass-fed meat over fake meat; animal fats (such as tallow or butter) over vegetable oils; raw honey over maple syrup; and raw milk over nut, soy or oat milk. PS: Maple syrup is OK to consume but isn't better or healthier than raw honey. Sugar-Free If you follow a low-carb diet or try to avoid sugar, the term “sugar free” might sound appealing. Unfortunately, it doesn't always mean you're buying a healthy product. For example, FDA labeling guidelines allow brands to claim the product has no sugar if it has less than one gram per serving. While that may not sound like a big deal, it could mean that the three packs of “zero sugar” sweetener you pour into your coffee have, in fact, almost three grams of sugar. That's almost a tablespoon. The second problem with sugar-free products is that brands often substitute sugar for artificial sweeteners, such as sucralose, that are known to negatively impact both the microbiome in your gut as well as your glucose metabolism. The bottom line is that not all sugar-free products are good for your health, and you need to read the label carefully to understand what sugar substitutes were used instead. Vegetarian Fed (Chickens, Pork, Eggs) Seeing the label “vegetarian fed” on a carton of eggs makes me giggle, because it's an honest admission that the chickens were fed a diet that's inappropriate for the species. Chickens are insectivores, and while they can also extract nutrients from plants, it's not their ideal diet. Unfortunately, there aren't any commercial alternatives (that I know of) regarding chickens, pork and eggs. In other words, the best you can do is look for eggs that were fed a corn and soy-free diet.
In this episode, Dr. Will Cole is joined by his brother-in-law, regenerative farmer and owner of HEAL Farms, Adam Mason. After years of living and farming in southern California, Adam made the move to Pennsylvania on a mission - to establish a regenerative farm that will help heal the earth and your health. Adam shows us what it really means to be a regenerative farmer, how it differs from conventional and organic farming, and how you can find a local farmer you can trust. From the importance of soil health, how to decipher food labels (what does free range really mean?), and why no one should be vegan, this episode will give a whole new meaning to the phrase "meet your meat."

Paul Greive is a USMC War Veteran and the co-founder of Pasturebird, the world's largest daily-move pastured poultry operation. He also helped launch Primal Pastures, a direct-to-consumer regenerative organic farm in southern California. Paul chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about how he got into farming, why he credits Lyme disease for kicking off his interest in regenerative agriculture, and how his startups were born. They also discuss the importance of raising animals in their natural pasture habitat, both for the environment and the added nutritional benefits. Paul then explains the difference between pasture-raised, cage-free, and free-range chickens. Then he and Dr. Gustin talk about why geese are totally underrated in the US. You'll even hear how Pasturebird uses the largest land-based electric vehicles in the world to help their chickens automatically move a full spot every 24 hours.

A conversation with Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, six generations, 156-year-old family farm in Bluffton, Georgia, about being in the space for 25 years but barely making money, new people wanting to get into the space, the unfairness built into the highly chemical, fossil fuel, extractive agriculture systems and a lot more.White Oak Pastures take pride in farming practices that focus on regenerative land management, humane animal husbandry, and revitalizing our rural community. They know radically traditional farming creates products that are better for our land, their livestock and their village. They are proud of their zero-waste production system that utilizes each part of the animals they pasture-raise and hand-butcher on their farm.What does it tell us when leaders who have been in the regenerative space for 25 years is barely making any money? What does it tell us if it is one of the leaders in the regenerative space not only in terms of operation, scale, highly diversifies, mostly vertically integrated, probably one of the biggest pasture raised and slaughtered companies and in the US?What does it teach us? Not that he is complaining, they are doing fine, 180 FTE, he is able to pay the bills. But they are just making it with large operational loans every seasons.What does it tell us about the sector now? What does it tell us about new people wanting to get into the space and what does it tell us about the incredible unfairness built into the highly chemical fossil fuel extractive agriculture systems? Big questions in the conversation with Will Harris of White Oak Pastures. We hope it gives you some food for thought and energises you even further to get to work for the transition we need.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag.

Join me on today's journey as I interview Tyler Dawley, who has lived in one spot his entire life. That spot is Big Bluff Ranch, the family ranch. Since he was a kid, driving the ranch truck looking through (not over) the steering wheel, he has found purpose and passion in working with the land and animals. Since 2000, Tyler has been driving innovations on the ranch. Everything from farmer's markets to grass-fed beef to pasture poultry to direct marketing over the internet. Currently, Big Bluff Ranch is one of the largest producers of organic, pasture-raised, no corn/soy chicken on the west coast. Now raising the 4th generation of Dawleys on the ranch, Tyler knows way more about raising chickens on pasture than a normal person should. Ask him what's going on, and the answer is always the same - "Just raising chickens and kids.". To learn more about Tyler, Big Bluff Ranch, and to try his tasty chickens, please visit: Website: www.bigbluffranch.com Email: tyler@bigbluffranch.com Blog: https://www.bigbluffranch.com/blog
How to Buy Healthy Eggs In the grocers, look for eggs labeled PASTURE-RAISED, such as Vital Farms. Pastured hens live outdoors in movable coops. In a Farmer's Market, ask the seller "what do you feed these chickens?" Eggs that are colored, speckled or slightly dirty don't mean the birds were pastured. They may have been raised in a fenced dirt area with no access to bugs or forage. Eating GMO corn and soy - not a natural diet for birds. Pastured chickens' natural diet is bugs, green plants and seeds. When insects and seeds decline in the winter, they need a grain mix in addition to most any food products from the farm.

You all know I'm a big supporter of healthy, ethically raised animal proteins – and today we get another serving of the good stuff.Today's guest is Farmer Paul Grieve. Paul is the founder of Pasturebird, the largest pasture-raised chicken operation in the world, focused on making true pasture-raised, nutrient-dense chicken, more accessible and affordable to you and me.Paul never set out to be a farmer. His journey began after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite during his marine corps training, a seemingly innocuous event that would shape the rest of his life. Going Paleo as a means to treat his symptoms, he identified a glaring gap in the market for natural, pasture-raised chicken – especially in Southern California.Soon, his backyard-based business maintained wholesale accounts with both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dodgers. He was onto something big, and hasn't slowed down since.I'm so inspired by Paul, his wife Lynsey, the community they've created, and all the good they're putting into this world. It's such a pleasure to introduce you to Pasturebird in the hopes that this knowledge empowers you with a better way of taking care of your family, and the planet as well.We also cover…00:02:55 — Catching Up With Farmer Paul GrieveReliving happy memories at Pasturebird's farmRemaking the land from 50 years of soil depletion A surprising shift from the marines to farmingContracting Lyme disease from a tick bite and his resulting symptoms How Paleo changed his outlook on health and nutrition Identifying a gap in the market for pasture-raised chickenThe 50 tiny baby chicks that started it allCreating Pasturebird and Primal Pastures thanks to the help of Joel Salatin 00:13:45 – Paul's Shift in Diet & Mindset around Nutrient-Dense Food Paul's delicious local diet as a Marine in IraqAmerica's lack of nutrient-dense foods and recommendations Indigenous wisdom around regenerative farmingInspired by the work of Joel SalatinSoil quality over the generationsRoaming vs. stationary livestockKiss The Ground (film)Harms of monocropping and factory farming00:24:34 — Scaling A Regenerative FarmMission to be widely available and affordable Pasturebird is at Sprouts!The key to scaling an eco-friendly chicken business Welcoming technological solutions to inefficiency problems Inventing the Automated Range Coop to support 6,000 chickens00:35:10 – How Healthy Soil Grows Healthy FoodAllowing chickens to forage on pesticide-free landBugs, not drugs – raising clean poultryThe ‘flaws' in a conventional chicken operationFind Real Chicken Near YouCarbon sequestration in plants, water infiltration, & biodiversity from regenerative farmingSupporting an evolving ecosystem with the reintegration of crops and animalsReimagining and reinventing the future of our food system00:57:54 — Paul's Health & Home HacksPaleo-forward family diet Education pods and garage learning for their kidsLiving amongst a large family support...

In the past decade, demand for eggs has grown, but the kind of eggs we are looking for has changed during that time, too. Consumers are eager to know if the chickens had enough space to move around. Were they cage-free? Free-range? Pasture-raised? Organic? In response to those questions about where those eggs come from and how those hens lived out their lives, egg cartons and the labels and claims on them are working overtime to tell us a story. On today's episode we look at the many labels on your carton of eggs and dig into what they mean and what they definitely don't mean.Follow @foodprintorg on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter .

We are all taught that eggs are healthy, but did you know that the type of eggs you buy matters? In this video, I crack open everything you need to know about eggs from free range to pasture raised, and get you to live a healthier lifestyle.

Episode SummaryHow many eggs do you think the average American eats? The answer might surprise you. It's 250 eggs per year.If you calculate 250 eggs per year and multiply by the average water footprint of one egg, which is 23 gallons of water the total is 5,750 gallons of water per year per person. The largest share of water to produce eggs flows to the fields of grain. According to the USDA, chickens are a major feed grain user. Chickens, whether raised for meat or raised for eggs eat, approximately 100 billion pounds of feed every year. My goal for this episode is for you to have all the information you need to purchase your next carton of eggs that saves water. I will walk you through the difference between organic and conventional eggs and decide whether or not you believe they are worth the extra cents. I will break down the difference between cage-free and plain old eggs, in other words when no label of cage-free, free-range, or pasture-raised is listed.And finally, in this episode, I break down the difference between free-range and pasture-raised eggs and why discerning true pasture-raised eggs take a little effort on your part because the USDA does not currently offer any clear guidelines for egg laying hens. In the episode, I mention Coyote Creek Farms as a great model for true pasture-raised eggs. They offer a guide on what to look for when you search the websites of farms near you.

What is the true cost of chicken? You could be paying $3 for your chicken right now, but you could actually be paying for that chicken in other ways. Communities around Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) have been shown to have higher rates of cancer. And if that happens to be an impoverished community, then guess what? You're basically paying for the Medicaid bills as well. Today on the show, we chat with Pasturebird Founder and CEO Paul Grieve. He shares the story of how Pasturebird started with just an idea and a few chickens and how they now have mobile chicken coops to raise over 5,000 pasture-raised chickens. Find out what you need to be looking for when buying chicken and discover the unfortunate truth about conventionally raised chicken.

Hey There! Today we are chatting all about EGGS! Have you ever just stood in the aisle at the store staring at a million options and then just going with the cheaper ones bc you don't know why you would spend more money on the other eggs? I was totally you and now that I have learned some things I can't unlearn it or un-see it. I can't buy the conventional eggs anymore, I physically can't pick them up haha! I know too much now, so now I am passing my knowledge on to you so you can make the best informed decision for your family. I am all about informed decisions and never telling anyone this is the way or the right way because I recognize not everyone cares or prioritizes the same things I do. But, what I have found to mostly be true is that people just didn't know and after knowing or learning something would actually choose differently. That's why I do what I do so that I can help make a long lasting impact on you and your family's health and wellbeing. With that said we are breaking down the difference between: Conventional (caged, given antibiotics, NO space, sit in their own poo!) Organic (no cages, fed an organic feed, not guaranteed much space or outdoor access) Cage Free (aren't caged but are often packed together indoors, no diet regulations, regulated by the USDA) Free Range (Same as cage free but just have the option to go outside) Pasture Raised (Free Roaming, full outdoor access whenever they want, not regulated by the USDA, more nutritional value) Whew! That is a lot to navigate, so tune in and maybe take some notes if you feel so inclined. We will dive a bit deeper in to each, what brands to look for, and where to find them. I hope this is eye opening and encouraging for you. If you found this helpful PLEASE share it with someone you know and leave a review on the show. I am SO grateful for all the support.
