Since we raise meat chickens here at Riverbend, we’re eating a lot of roasted chicken throughout the year. Our chickens are pasture-raised in a mobile chicken tractor and are fed homemade fermented chicken feed for better health.
Since we have such a large family, we’re usually eating four chickens at a time, so that’s a lot of chickens to raise for a year’s worth of meat. You might be wondering how much land is needed to raise a year’s worth of meat and how we store a year’s worth of food. Those posts will answer that question, which may surprise you!
