What is the supplemental diet of the poultry? Does it contain soy?
Our birds are pasture raised and given supplemental feed to ensure they consume all the nutrients they need. This supplemental feed is non-GMO and consists of corn, soybeans, a kelp meal-based vitamin-mineral mix with probiotics, fish meal, and coquina (seashells for calcium and grit). Supplemental feed makes up no more than 50% of the diet, significantly less than that of conventional chickens. Our birds are moved to fresh pasture every 24 hours to ensure that the majority of their diet is grass, clover, insects and worms. Our South Carolina chicken producer is currently working toward developing a supplemental feed ration that will use peanuts as a replacement for soybean meal. He also raises nearly all of his grain on a certified organic farm.
