Rankin Farm

We raise small batches of meat birds and turkeys during the summer months. The small size ensures our birds can free-range during the day to forage and graze as they please. They are confined only at night for their protection. This practice is different than most pastured poultry farmers where birds are housed in mobile chicken tractors for their entire life. We believe birds should be able to be out, freely roaming and expressing their natural behavior. Our pigs are born and live their entire lives on pasture. We never ring our pigs to prevent rooting. They have the freedom to root, wallow, or loaf in the shade as they choose. They are rotated to fresh pasture periodically and have housing to use if they choose.
