Homestead Pastured Poultry

The most common reason for raising pasture raised chicken, turkey, and eggs  is to provide nutrient dense food and food freedom for your family in ways that can help to regenerate the land. A majority of the homesteaders never aspire to more than feeding their family and their land; however, many of today's largest APPPA producers started at a family scale of production that could sometimes be measured by dozens or maybe hundreds of birds a year, and they grew that production into a profitable farm business. 

APPPA is not synonymous with "large scale" pastured poultry. We've been giving the pastured poultry community a space to share innovations, grow in knowledge, and succeed since 1997. The idea of what makes a pastured poultry flock large has changed dramatically since that time. Today's homesteader producing 300 meat chickens a year was a common scale for profit seeking farmers as little as 15 or 20  years ago. 

Whether your goal is family or family and profit, the APPPA community has been at the forefront of what it means to raise birds on pasture.
