Every time you choose pasture‑raised chicken, you're not just filling your plate; you're supporting a healthier body, a happier environment, and food that tastes real.
Unmatched Nutrient Profile
Pasture‑raised chicken consistently delivers better nutrition than conventionally raised poultry. It offers:
Higher omega‑3 fatty acids, lower omega‑6 to omega‑3 ratio, and more vitamin E and antioxidants compared to supermarket options
21 percent less overall fat and 30 percent less saturated fat, alongside significantly higher vitamin A, compared to conventionally raised chicken
Lower saturated fats support heart health, while higher omega‑3s help lessen inflammation and may support brain function. Antioxidants like vitamin E help protect cells from damage and support immune health.
More Collagen, Better Broth
Pasture‑raised chicken also offers more natural collagen, around 15 percent more than conventional poultry. Collagen supports joints, bones, skin, and even digestion when used in nourishing broths and soups.
That means stews, soups, and bone broths made with Solomon Farms chicken are richer and more healthful, not just comforting.
How Pasture Changes the Chicken From the Inside Out
Why do pasture‑raised birds offer better nutrition and flavor?
Access to grass, insects, and nutrient‑diverse forage increases beneficial fats and antioxidants
Regular sun exposure supports vitamin D synthesis, which helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, building stronger bones
Active movement on pasture strengthens muscle and bone, which contributes to higher protein and collagen content
Taste That Tells a Story
Beyond nutrition, pasture‑raised chicken simply tastes more alive. Free‑roaming birds develop deeper flavor, cleaner aroma, and a satisfying texture, characteristics that regular supermarket meat can’t match.
When you buy Solomon Farms’ chicken, you're tasting the essence of farmland—vibrant, wholesome, and unmistakably real.
A Sustainable Choice
Pasture‑raising chickens isn’t just about nutrition; it’s about farming that regenerates soil, cycles nutrients, and supports animal welfare.
When chickens forage, they help control pests, recycle manure naturally, and cycle nutrients into the earth. The result? Healthy animals, healthy land, and healthy people.
Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farm is a leading model of this approach, rotating chickens daily to fresh pasture, benefiting both the birds and the soil.
