At A & M Family Farms, raising great chicken starts with healthy birds, healthy soil, and a commitment to farming the right way. Our chickens are raised outdoors on fresh green pasture where they can scratch, forage, and live the way chickens were meant to live. The result is chicken that is flavorful, nutrient-dense, and raised with care from start to finish.
Our chicks are sourced from a west coast hatchery once they are out of the brooder, they live on pasture in spacious mobile chicken tractors. These shelters protect the birds from predators while still allowing them constant access to fresh grass, sunshine, and open air. Every day the tractors are moved to a new patch of pasture so the chickens always have clean ground, fresh forage, and room to explore. This daily rotation also naturally fertilizes the pasture, helping improve soil health and support the regenerative farming practices we use across the farm.
While our birds spend their days foraging, they are also supplemented with certified organic feed to ensure they receive balanced nutrition as they grow. This combination of pasture and high-quality feed helps produce chickens that grow well, stay healthy, and develop excellent flavor and texture.
Raising chickens on pasture requires more time, effort, and attention than conventional production, but we believe it is worth it. By moving the birds daily and keeping them on living pasture, we are able to raise chickens in a way that supports the land while producing food our own family is proud to eat.

During the main season, we offer a fresh chicken CSA from May through October, giving families the opportunity to enjoy fresh pasture-raised chicken each month of the growing season. Customers can choose from different share sizes depending on their household needs.
For those who miss the fresh season, our chicken is also available frozen year-round at the farm stand, making it easy to keep a supply of locally raised, high-quality chicken in your freezer.
Raised With Purpose
At A & M Family Farms, we believe food should be raised with integrity and care. Our goal is to produce nourishing food while stewarding the land well for future generations. By raising chickens on pasture and integrating them into our farm’s rotation, we are able to improve soil health, support the ecosystem, and provide wholesome food for our community.
