Paul Greive founded Pasturebird after searching for high-quality pasture-raised chicken to feed his family. Unable to find this chicken in stores, Paul and his family took matters into their own hands, setting out to produce nutrient-dense pasture-raised chicken. In the spring of 2012, Paul's brother ordered 50 chicks, marking the inception of their business. Pasturebird is now the largest pasture poultry producer in the world, with a mission to make nutrient-dense chicken more affordable and accessible to all. Pasturebird is revolutionizing the chicken industry by integrating solar-powered, self-driving chicken coops. This innovation provides their birds access to the outdoors, fresh grass, insects, and sunlight and contributes to soil regeneration for future generations. In an unconventional move, the company partnered with “Big Ag” giant Perdue. This strategic partnership granted Pasturebird access to hatcheries, feed mills, and slaughterhouses, sparing them from the significant debt they would have otherwise incurred to build these resources. In this episode, Paul and John discuss: Improving the way “Big Ag” operates Scaling up operations to reduce costs Focusing on one thing and outsourcing the rest Pasturebird's collaboration with Perdue  The innovation behind self-driving chicken houses The importance of effective marketing and messaging Incentivizing regenerative ag through fractional land ownership Additional Resources To learn more about Pasturebird and to place an order, please visit: https://www.pasturebird.com/ Connect with Paul on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulgreive/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

On today's episode, we are joined by Pasturebird Farm's founder & farmer,Paul Greive. Paul transitioned from city life as a corporate accountant without a background in agriculture when an illness required him to change the course of his life. After serving in the Marine Corps and contracting Lyme disease during sniper school, Paul began to look more closely at what he was putting into his body to focus on healing, but wasn't able to find pasture-raised chicken that fit his Paleo needs. His family ordered 50 chicks as part of an experimental hobby when they first moved to Temecula, and now Pasturebird is the largest pastured poultry farm in the world and official supplier of chicken to the LA Clippers and Dodgers. On this episode, we get into the problems with our food system, why pasture raised chicken is important, industry myths, sustainability, how to read labels at grocery stores, regenerative vs. factory farming and what this means for both plants and animals, glyphosate and its long lasting impact, the importance of buying directly from farmers, hidden truths about farmers markets, soil health and the environment, ancient wisdom from indigenous practices, and getting back to our roots by finding the joys of nature at any age.

A conversation with Paul Greive, founder of Pasturebird, about rising millions of birds on pasture per year, selling to one of the largest chicken producers in the world, the positive impact of chickens, and much more.Can chickens ever be regenerative? With Paul we discuss the impact on degraded farmland, replacing fossil fuel and toxic fertilisers and, of course, one of the biggest exits in the regen space!Not many can say that they build a successful pasture chicken operation, sold it to a 8 billion a year chicken company and, after this successful exit, continued from within this massive corporation to scale pasture-raised birds to millions of chickens.

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.

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.

Whether a fatty snack or nutritious meal, all the food we consume has a massive impact on our bodies. That's why it's important that we have access to foods that are safe, nutritious, affordable, and, ideally, work in harmony with the environment. Paul Greive is an accountant, marine veteran, family man, and founder of Pasturebird. Pasturebird is one of the largest pastured poultry producers in the US that uses regenerative farming and provides people with more nutritious meat that comes from a more natural environment.  This accountant-turned-farmer believes everyone should have access to ethically-produced, nutritious food, which is why it has been a true joy for him to be one of the people pushing forward and re-inventing a new-old way of farming. In this episode, Cory and Paul talk about the journey of building Pasturebird over a decade. Paul shares his life in the military, his battle with Lyme disease, and starting a pasture-poultry farm business with only 50 chicks, to raising millions of chickens without using a single antibiotic or drug. Paul addresses the problems in the food industry and the future of farming with the regenerative agriculture movement.   ⭐ SPONSORED BY: Saybrook University   -- --

Thanks for joining us, today we welcome Paul Greive, Pasturebird's Co-founder and VP of Sales and Marketing, located in Temecula, California. Paul shares with us Pasturebird's awesome story and what has driven their team to reinvent American poultry production. They've worked to scale the production of regenerative poultry, raising over two million chickens without antibiotics or drugs. They've kept their focus on the land, the animal, and the consumer all while improving the soil every year. Paul says, “we use nature as our template, and move animals to fresh pasture every day.” Listen in and Monte and Paul discuss this great American story of passion, innovation, and regeneration. Paul grew up in downtown Seattle and was a college athlete with no interest in food or agriculture. His farming journey began after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite during Marine Corps sniper training and experiencing the joint pain, brain fog, and decreased performance common with the autoimmune condition. After returning from Iraq in 2009, he and his family started eating paleo and grew frustrated with the lack of pasture raised meat available in Southern California. In 2012, they ordered 50 chicks and raised them in the backyard as a fun project. Mimicking their mentor, Joel Salatin, they raised the birds in mobile coops on pasture, moving them every single day. The birds sold out instantly, and the business started to take shape, especially when the LA Lakers and LA Dodgers players became their first wholesale accounts. Pasturebird has continued to grow into the largest pasture raised chicken operation in the world, and they're hyper focused 2 things: 1) making true pasture raised + nutrient dense chicken more accessible and affordable, and 2) re-integrating animals and crops in a regenerative, closed loop system. The primary means for accomplishing this is Pasturebird's Automated Range Coop (ARC), a 6,000 bird floorless mobile coop that drives itself to fresh pasture every daily using solar power. https://www.pasturebird.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulgreive/ Got questions you want answered?

Thank you to our presenting sponsor Merck Animal Health Ventures! https://www.merck-animal-health.com/animal-health-ventures/ StockCropper website: https://thestockcropper.com/ StockCropper YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStockCropper Zack Smith Twitter: https://twitter.com/zebulousprime Today's episode really speaks to the core of what this podcast is all about. We look at the current trajectory of where agriculture is headed, identify some of the negative outcomes associated with that trajectory, and explore how people and technology can play a role in creating a better future. I'm excited to share with you today's conversation with farmer and Stockcropper co-founder Zack Smith. If you've listened to the episode with Joe Bassett, or the recent episode with Paul Greive of Pasturebird, or if you spend any time on ag twitter or ag youtube, you probably have an idea of what the StockCropper is all about. But today's episode goes deeper into why these types of innovations are important. We talk about consolidation in ag and its impact on rural communities. Zack shares about his journey into soil health and how that's changed his operation and led him to the point that he felt it was critical that he find a way to incorporate animals onto his crop land. And we talk about these two diverging paths of being the low cost producer vs being a value added producer. A lot of great stuff in today's episode.  It used to be common practice for farmers to raise a diverse mix of animals and crops in a somewhat integrated system. Over the years through technological and policy changes, most farmers became more specialized, and today the majority of our crops and livestock are produced separate from each other. However, this creates other challenges that Zack will talk more about, and there is a growing push to try to integrate crops and livestock more for the sake of soil, the environment, and rural economies. StockCropper is creating a system to help with this. Their first product is the world's first multi-species, solar-powered, electrically-driven, autonomous mobile grazing system, called the ClusterCluck. Zack's going to talk a lot more about the system and what it represents for the future of agriculture.    

This week, Morgan sits down with Paul Greive, a former marine-turned-farmer and the founder of Pasturebird. Pasturebird uses regenerative farming to build a pasture-raised poultry farm.  Greive talks about his past life in the military and a battle with Lyme disease that resulted in him adopting the paleo lifestyle and becoming a farmer. Greive took a deep dive into learning about regenerative farming, learning about responsible animal agriculture and its lasting effects on soil, and developed his system to raise true, pasture-raised hens on grass living off fresh grass with access to the sun. He learned the staggering difference in nutrient density for regenerative farming compared to conventional.  Greive discusses his humble beginnings as a start-up farm struggling with distribution, and how Primal Kitchen founder Mark Sisson gave his brand the boost it needed in his early days. Listen in as he spills on his favorite PK product (Buffalo!) and the future of farming. 

Today a growing number of consumers want additional attributes on top of that says Pasturebird founder Paul Greive.

Can pastured poultry be raised at a price point that is affordable and accessible to the average consumer?

From very humble beginnings, Pasturebird has grown to become the largest pasture-raised chicken company in the nation.

This week, Morgan connects with Primally Pure founder Bethany McDaniel to talk about the link between real food eating and natural skincare. McDaniel used all sorts of harsh prescription creams and pills to treat her acne as a teenager and young adult–and dealt with red, raw, irritated skin as a result. She was blown away by the effects she eventually experienced after ditching the harsh chemicals and replacing them with simple, natural ingredients and began a Paleo diet.  McDaniel talks about her passion for living a healthy lifestyle and how her husband's start of a Pasturebird, a pasture-raised poultry company, ignited her passion for making natural beauty products. She talks about the science behind her natural products, and the treatments visitors at to the spa at the Primally Pure headquarters can find, like lymphatic damage, facial massage & holistic healing.

This growth and innovation caught the attention of one of the largest animal protein companies in the country, Perdue Farms, who acquired Pasturebird in 2019. Janette Barnard returns to co-host today's episode which is an incredible story of entrepreneurship, technology, regenerative farming, and a glimpse into the future of agriculture.

Fueled by his military career, Faith and his own inner healing, Farmer Paul literally breathes life into the Earth, his animals and his customers. The story of Regenerative Farming is the story of healing Planet Earth and Humanity from the inside out.  Paul Greive is the founder of Primal Pastures and Pasturebird, and a leader in regenerative agriculture where livestock animals are being utilized to build healthy soil, sequester carbon, and provide nutrient dense food.  After growing up a city kid and completing a career in college track and field, Paul's interest in food as medicine started after contracting Lyme disease during Marine Corps sniper command school in the backwoods of Virginia.   He and his family adopted Paleo back in 2010 and they started to understand more about the misleading label claims currently in the meat industry.  They ordered 50 chickens for their backyard, and the business was born.   Today, Primal Pastures feeds more than 1,000 families around Southern California with pasture raised beef, lamb, pork, chicken and even wild caught fish.  Paul is currently focused full time on Pasturebird, a project that aims to scale pastured livestock production to help make nutrient dense meats more accessible and affordable nationwide.   Stay Connected with Farmer Paul:   Websites:  https://primalpastures.com https://www.pasturebird.com Instagram: @primalpastures,@pasturebird Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/primalpastures ______________________ Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:  Instagram: @futuregenpodcast, @thefuturegensd  and @drstantonhom_  Facebook: Future Generations Podcast and Future Generations | Clinic of Chiropractic  Website: Future Generations | Clinic of Chiropractic , Future Generations Podcast Remember to Rate, Review and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!

Tyler Nuss wears many hats in his day to day life but, whether it’s working his day job in supply chain and operation for Rivian, an electric car startup, or being an advocate for sustainable agriculture - he’s on a mission to change the world. Co-founding the podcast the Modern Acre with his brother Tim. Tyler’s goal was to provide a community about innovation in food and ag business. Indirectly, it has built Tyler and Tim’s relationship with their family farm, allowed them to consult on other farms, and continue to broaden their horizons and, subsequently, the opportunities of Nuss Farms.  The mission of The Modern Acre was to inspire other entrepreneurial and like-minded people in agriculture with their podcast, making a cross-pollination of people on the farm, farmers that were innovating and doing different things from the “normal” systems, and business leaders in the world of food and ag.  “We both knew very early on that this was a long-term vision and that we saw the value in building an audience, building great content, and putting it out in the world,” says Tyler. Despite the original plan to make a “Bigger Pockets” concept, the show morphed on it’s own as they focused not on monetary gain, but on putting good content out for two years.  With good content creation comes amazing opportunities, which the Nuss Family Farm has begun to see as an indirect result of the Modern Acre podcast. While the most common form of podcast monetization is sponsorships and advertisements, Nuss Farms has been able to partner with new business model opportunities and then promote them through the podcast.  At a minimum, Tyler says that these opportunities have been extremely fruitful as just recently, their sustainable vegetable farm has partnered with Pasturebird. Pasturebird is an affiliate program that they have incorporated and, while it may seem like an untraditional concept, it provides a unique multi-faceted opportunity for their farm. Find your niche and what makes you different - then lean into that! Both Tyler and Tim have built careers off of the farm, Tyler in technology and Tim in import/export of produce. Finding what makes them unique makes it interesting - no matter what. For example: Tyler talking about farming is okay; Tyler who is a fifth generation farmer talking about farming is more interesting; Tyler, a fifth generation farmer involved in the building of electric pickups talking about farming is very interesting! If it wasn’t for the podcast, Tyler doesn’t believe that neither himself nor Tim would be as engaged in the farm as they would have been without Modern Acre. As they learned more information and chatting with more industry professionals, they found themselves routinely going back to the farm to have open conversations with their brother and father about the operation. They have also found themselves having consulting conversations with others in agriculture, specifically those looking to diversify their farm and move into a more sustainable or regenerative farming aspect.

Meet Farmer Paul, a former Marine Corps officer and accountant who grew tired of BS labels and green-washing and decided to make a change in the poultry industry. Now that largest pasture poultry producer in the US, Paul and his Pasturebird family are passionate about raising animals the right way. Hear about how his farming practices contribute to human and environmental health, and how we can all make better choices as consumers of local and responsibly raised meats. Paul says: “My vision has less to do with size and more to do with impact. I want to leave a positive mark on global agriculture. I want to see environmentally destructive factory farming come to an end. I want to see antibiotics, especially prophylactic antibiotic use, come to and end - preferably before a major outbreak of antibiotic resistance caused by livestock. I want to see a future that's regenerative, where manure is an asset and not a liability. Where we're building soil organic matter, producing a nutrient dense chicken, and giving animals a high level of welfare that we can be proud of and transparent to.” Website: http://www.pasturebird.com Instagram: pasturebird

We’ve all seen the videos and documentaries about the many issues of factory farming and how it affects the animals, humans who produce them and the environment. While some people choose to stop eating meat as a way to reduce harm, there are many ways we can opt into another system that treats animals, the humans that raise them and the environment in a way that not only supports, but gives back to the land. In this episode I talk with farmer Paul Grieve of Primal Pastures and Pasturebird about what that looks like and how his farms lead with transparency first.   About Paul Grieve After changing the way he was eating to deal with chronic pain, Paul Greive discovered the higher priced meat he was buying for himself and his family wasn’t actually the quality it promised. Frustrated by the industry, he and his family joked about getting chickens, and five minutes later, his brother-in-law bought 50 chicks for the backyard, and Primal Pastures began. Primal Pastures is a family-run farm that has expanded from just pastured chicken to include other birds, grass fed lamb and beef, all raised in a way that supports animals and the land in a humane and regenerative way. Soon after, Primal Pastures’ sister company, Pasturebird, began, with the focus of providing a more affordable pastured chicken to restaurants, grocery and butcher shops and online retailers.

Available On: iTunes  | Google Play  | Stitcher  | Spotify Paul Greive is making a difference. He's the co-founder and CEO of PastureBird - the country's largest supplier of REAL pasture raised, free-range chicken in the Country. And what do I mean by real? Well, "pasture raised", when you see it on packaging in the market, doesn't mean what you think it does. Here's his story: When Paul got out of the military in 2011 and became a Certified Public Accountant, he decided to do something about his aching joints, arthritis, and constant Motrin use. He'd heard the hype about Paleo but never committed to trying it out. He finally gave it a go and after two weeks he says he felt like a kid again. He could breathe through his nose, his joint pain was gone, energy levels were up, and his sleep returned to normal. His wife and her whole family even jumped on board. People were losing weight, feeling better, and just overall healthier and happier. They were working hard to find good, clean foods and spending a lot of extra money on fancy labels like "grass fed", "free range", "organic", and "antibiotic free". The problem was, the more he learned about labels the more he found that they were complete BS. Free Range chickens never actually went outside, and "Antibiotic Free" birds actually got a bunch of antibiotics. Oh, and organic, that just dealt with a single certification for the feed. Wait, what? He felt cheated, misled, and lied to. Then, in April of 2012, the family sat around together over Easter, joking around about getting some chickens for the backyard. Nobody had any type of a farming or livestock background, so Paul thought it was just a big joke. But sure enough, his brother in law Rob disappeared from the room for about 5 minutes and returned with a big grin on his face. "Guys, I just ordered 50 chicks and they'll be here in 2 weeks" Rob said. From Andy: The more I learned about Paul's story, the more disturbed I became about the quality of the food that's on my family's dinner table. Do the chicken and eggs we spend good money on based on their labels actually meet the standards that a "reasonable person" would expect from the words "free range" and "pasture raised"?

In Episode 71, learn how to grill chicken barbecue that's flavorful and moist. Email questions to mike@pasturedpoultrytalk.com. As this episode drops, the United States will be in full-on summer picnic mode with the fourth of July. It’s a perfect place to showcase pasture-raised chicken.  In a bad cook’s grill, however, it’s a great opportunity to for a tough, dry, and poor eating experience.  Mike talks about some of the biggest challenges to eating chicken: bland chicken and grilling. Mike shares tips for grilling pastured raised chicken using two types of charcoal grills. The first is a typical homeowner style grill, such as a Kamada grill, using direct heat. When grilling chicken barbecue for large groups, Mike uses a commercial chicken grill manufactured from Poultry Man. All the details are in the episode. Bland flavor is the second biggest problem to grilling chicken. Pasture-raised chicken has an inherent advantage in the flavor department because of the diverse diet, older birds, and sometimes, different breeds of chicken. The flavor of the chicken starts on day one of its life in the brooder based on what the farmer feeds. Find out how you can create flavorful chicken in this episode. Taste test. Taste is incredibly subjective, and you know this if you've ever talked with people who eat. This article from Farm Babe conducted a blind taste test among friends using several brands of chicken, including a pasture-raised variety from Pasturebird. These types of taste tests are great fun, educational, and offer lots of anecdotal discussion. In this episode, Mike breaks down the problem with this taste test. Hint: the winner was seasoned the same as the other participants. Chicken Basting Sauce I baste this on my chicken as it grills when I'm cooking on direct heat using my chicken grill from Badger's Millside Farm. 5 cups apple cider vinegar 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup salt (original recipe calls for 1 cup) Add water to make one one gallon. This will easily handle 40 pounds of chicken.

My guest today is Paul Grieve from Primal Pastures and Pasturebird, we’ll discuss how he got involved in farming, how they started, how they define Primal, their work with the Billion Dollar Buyer and so much more. Show Notes “Primal” is the starting point for the food and it’s consumption. The farm started with Paul’s brother in law ordering 50 chicks The foundation of the farm is pasture based. Within three weeks of posting about the chickens on Facebook, all 50 chicks had been sold. To start a farm you often need to make short term sacrifices to make long term gains. “Bugs not drugs.” is a catchphrase of Pasturebird and Primal Pastures, they have not had to use any drugs on the operation, when working on a pasture based system there’s a lower risk of illness. Pasturebird raises pastured chicken for Wholesales accounts. The first customer for Pasturebird was the LA Lakers. In Southern California, Pasturebird can raise chickens all year round. Pasturebird was on “Billion Dollar Buyer.” Regenerative Agriculture is more dynamic that merely Sustainable Agriculture. True Sustainability is not possible, life lives within an ebb and flow, either increasing or decreasing.

On this episode of the Sustainable Dish Podcast I speak to Paul Greive of Pasturebird, a national wholesaler of pasture raised broiler chickens. We discuss how Paul and his family got involved in raising chickens, the benefits of pasture raised chickens and the logistics of chicken processing.

Meatcastocrats! Today we've got your typical Marine sniper turned accountant turned chicken farmer, Paul Grieve from Pasturebird. Beyond his incredible story, Paul is an amazing resource on the complications of raising chickens and why doing it right is such a delicate process. There's no better person to explore the intricacies of a single animal species than him! Paul and I discuss…. How he founded Pasturebird and landed the Los Angeles Lakers as his first customer Diving deep on our existing chicken supply chain and why pastured poultry is so incredibly rare Every stage of raising chickens from breeds, to feed, to slaughter and how Pasture Bird is doing things differently each step of the way For this week's INSIDE EPIC segment, we talk with our first sales employee ever, Martha Siskron.  Without a sales team, EPIC products never make it to your store shelves — and for our early years, Martha was EPIC's sales team.  Now she's responsible for getting you EPIC where you least expect it (but so desperately need it!). If you've come across our products at an airport, convenience store, or in a vending machine, thank Martha: that's where she works her magic!

Paul Greive from Pasturebird joins the show. Paul is a partner in a southern California farm that started just five years ago from 50 chicks. And they're rising quickly. A $2000 investment among 4 guys started as an experiment. There came a point when the farm venture didn't have enough cash to buy zip ties. With those early years behind them, Pasturebird is one of the largest pastured poultry farms in the United States. They're working toward 6,000 a week, and they do it all in a daily move system using mobile range coops. My take from the interview with Paul is focus. You’ll hear that word pop up in our conversation in different ways.  Focus on the message, focus being the best, focus on a product, focus on the numbers. The farm grows broilers, but if you listen to Paul, you’ll hear takeaways that you can apply to your egg, turkey, or other farm business. We also cover some ground on certifications and predators. How did a startup pastured poultry farm deal with predators. Paul's conclusion provided a pivot point to profitability.
