In Canada, 99% of meat birds and turkeys never see the light of day...
No sunshine on their skin...
No bugs, grasses, clover, alfalfa, seeds, herbs, or flowers to eat or chase...'
We are the 1%...
Our birds are raised outside in floorless coops that are moved to fresh grass every day.
That means fresh, clean bedding every night and brand new forage every morning.
With unlimited access to supplemental feed and fresh water, our meat birds and turkeys are free to roam our lush pastures with summer breezes and sunshine on their skin...
Hunting grasshoppers, worms and other insects and foraging fresh grasses, alfalfa, clover, flowers, and indigenous herbs.
You will notice the difference in the skin and fat of our chickens...unlike factory farmed grocery store chickens that never see the sun or a blade of grass, our birds have a rich golden tone to their fat and skin, showing the high beta-carotene content of birds that live outside.
Never medicated, vaccinated, treated with antibiotics or insecticides, our birds eat a supplemental diet of non-GMO grains grown by local producers and milled by us right here on the ranch.
By moving our birds through our pastures, they help to regenerate the land. They act like literal cultivators, scratching at the soil and stimulating the roots of the plants and grasses that grow naturally and leaving behind fertilizer that feeds and nourishes the pastures long after they are gone.
When you choose BellMar Ranch & Gardens pastured broilers and turkeys, you are choosing to eat poultry that was raised in a way that is beneficial to the Earth!
Every animal we raise here leaves the Earth in better condition than before they were raised here...regenerating the Earth for the generations that come after us.
