When people hear "cage-free", they almost always associate the word with chicken. While it's good that there remains a concerted effort to free chickens from their overpopulated barns or cages where they can hardly move, not all free-range chicken is the same.

At Rocky Plains, our producers allow their chicken to graze on all-natural grass which gives a tender, flavorful poultry product. When you see the chicken at Rocky Plains, you'll notice a darker, richer color. The pale colored chicken you find in stores most often goes through a microbial wash so the meat can last longer, sitting unfrozen on the shelves. While it may help the poultry last longer, the microbial wash, along with other additives found in store-bought chicken, may be linked to other chronic health problems in humans. As soon as our suppliers butcher their chickens, the meat is cleaned and frozen to lock in all the nutrients and prevent spoilage. Because of this, at Rocky Plains, you'll find a product that promotes good health.
