Pastured Poultry and the People Who Raise Them Breathe Fresh Air

There is a day-and-night difference between conditions in a confinement chicken operation and those on a free-range poultry farm. On a free-range farm, the chickens have room to move, grass to forage, bugs to catch, and clean air to breathe. Just as important, the people who tend them are safe from high concentrations of dust and fumes.
(The picture of the free-range chickens was taken at the Graf Century Farm in Corbett, Oregon. Nita and Loren Wilton offer grassfed beef, eggs from pastured hens, pastured pork, and pastured broilers—all raised on their organically certified farm. 1-503-695-5452.)
