What Does "Farm Fresh, Pasture-Raised, Non-GMO Chicken" Really Mean?

May 1, 2025

That’s a mouthful—literally and figuratively! Let’s unpack what all of that means.

Farm Fresh

What does "farm fresh" mean at Faithful Harvest Farms? Simply put, it means our chickens are raised right here on our family farm—not in a commercial poultry barn. When we say "farm fresh," we mean that our chickens are raised, fed, and stored on-site. This ensures quality, transparency, and a commitment to ethical farming practices.

Pasture-Raised

There are different interpretations of "pasture-raised," but for us at Faithful Harvest Farms, it means our chickens live in mobile "chicken tractors" that are moved 1–2 times a day. This gives them access to fresh grass, bugs, and the outdoors. Raising them this way results in superior meat quality and a more humane, natural life. Our chickens enjoy natural sunlight, fresh air, and the ability to forage—just as nature intended.

Non-GMO

This topic can be a bit controversial, as people tend to fall into three camps:

  1. Those who believe GMOs are essential for increasing yield and efficiency.
  2. Those who are strongly against GMOs.
  3. Those who are navigating the vast amount of information to determine what’s best.

At Faithful Harvest Farms, we lean toward the non-GMO side. Let’s break it down:

GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. As a scientist, the idea of altering the genetics of a living organism feels unsettling and carries long-term implications for health and sustainability. Nature has an incredible way of maintaining balance, and we believe in honoring that process.

That’s why we source organic, non-GMO feed for our chickens from an Amish farm in southern Indiana. Our soil has been free from chemicals for over 40 years, ensuring our chickens are raised as naturally as possible. And since what we feed our chickens ultimately impacts the food on our table, we are committed to keeping it as pure as possible.

Our Commitment to Quality

At Faithful Harvest Farms, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality chicken to our community. As a family-run farm, our children actively participate in every step of the process, ensuring these animals receive the best care possible. We believe that happy, healthy chickens result in a superior product—one that is not only better for you, but also incredibly flavorful.

Thank you for supporting small, ethical farming. We can’t wait for you to taste the difference!
