About our Chicken

Chris and Rebecca Eifert (Matt's brother-in-law and sister) started raising their first flock of pastured broilers for Watson Farms in the Fall of 2011.  That initial flock of 80 proved a success!  Now, nearing the end of 2012, they have raised nearly 400 broilers.

These meat chickens are started in a brooder house for the first few weeks after hatching.  Once they develop adult feathers they are moved into a 10'x12' pasture shelter where they receive fresh air, sunshine and a new "salad bar" every day.  The once-per-day move helps the birds to ingest as much grass as possible and gets them away from yesterday's manure.

We process the chickens under a South Carolina poultry processing exemption for small farmers.

The system is modeled closely after the Polyface model for pastured broilers.  Email Chris at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information on his pastured broilers.
