Healthy, sustainable soil promotes and preserves the natural quality, taste, and nutritional value of Pigeon River Farm produce, poultry, eggs, and meats.  

Pigeon River Farm follows the National Organic Standards as the fundamental procedures and practices developed to ensure the integrity of all organic farm products.  

Pigeon River Farm Poultry and Livestock are pastured according to free range, rotational grazing practices. 

The size of our flocks and herds are carefully matched to the size of our farm.  This creates “a Sustainable System” and returns important micro-nutrients to the soil. 

Pigeon River Farm is a member of the American Pastured Poultry Producers’ Association (APPPA), a nonprofit educational and networking organization dedicated to encouraging the production, processing, and marketing of poultry raised on pasture.  

Pigeon River Farm is also a member of Grass Works.  Grass Works is a grassroots membership organization that provides leadership and education to farmers and consumers for the advancement of managed grass-based agriculture to benefit present and future generations.   

Managed Grazing is a farming method in which livestock are rotated through paddocks of high quality legumes and grasses. The legumes and grasses are then allowed to rest and re-grow.  Farmers who utilize this method call themselves “grazers.” Grazers work with natural relationships and biological processes in order to:

• Reduce the need for off-farm inputs,
• Preserve and improve natural resources,
• Protect habitat for wildlife,
• Keep their animals healthy and productive,
• Produce high quality meat and egg products for local food systems,
• Secure a high quality of life for themselves and their families, and
• Restore rural communities.
