Poultry

Bell & Evans

Bell & Evans has been providing the highest-quality, naturally-raised poultry since the 1890s.

Located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Bell & Evans is passionate about raising chickens responsibly and humanely.  Their chickens dine on organic feed made of corn and soy, grown in the United States. This diet—plus low-stress, humane living conditions—keep their chickens healthy without the need for growth hormones, antibiotics or other additives.

Bell & Evans’ 100% Air Chilled method means that their chickens’ natural juices never get diluted or replaced with water. That means better flavor and more tender meat. No excess water also means you pay for the chicken, not chicken plus water, and see higher yields after cooking.

From humane animal welfare to our 100% Air Chilled method, everything they do adds up to healthier, more flavorful food.

Also available in USDA Organic.

Family owned and operated since 1933, Nueske’s uses old world techniques to produce a high-quality line of smoked meats without binders, fillers or extenders. The slow smoking process using real apple or cherry logs and old-world recipes yields products with a signature sweet smokiness that permeates the meat. Nueske’s award-winning apple smoked bacon is arguably the gold standard amongst the chef community! Other products include bacon, hams, sausages, chicken, duck and a line of uncured cherry wood smoked bacon products without nitrates.

Pederson’s Natural Farms

Headquartered in Hamilton, Texas, Pederson’s Natural Farms raises Duroc-sired pigs, a heritage breed known for high quality meat, incredible juiciness and superior marbling.

Raised on a vegetarian diet, without growth hormones, steroids or antibiotics, their Duroc pigs grow slower than those at industrial “farms”, and Pederson’s is quite alright with that. It’s a better life for the pigs, and produces the best pork ever eaten.

Pederson’s Natural Farms is pledged to growing their business responsibly and deliver on their commitment to animal welfare, community, waste reduction, and conservation. Pederson’s Natural Farms works with self-sustaining family farms because they’re good stewards of their land, and they feel the ethical obligation to provide their pigs with a comfortable life. These family farms not only raise their pigs in an open pen, but also grow the grain they use to feed them. Pederson’s participates in the Global Animal Partnership (GAP)’s 5 Step® Animal Welfare program. Their pork is certified Humane Raised and Handled.

Pederson’s Natural Farms offers all-natural fresh pork as well as uncured bacons and hams.
