Pasture-raised chicken and turkey are way healthier than the regular stuff you get at the grocery store.  Think about it: these birds get to roam around outside, eat a natural diet, and basically live a much happier life.  And that makes a huge difference in how good their meat is for you.

For starters, pasture-raised poultry has more of the good fats, like omega-3s, which are great for your heart.  It also has less of the unhealthy fat, so it’s a smart choice if you’re watching your weight or just trying to be healthier.

Another big plus is that these birds are usually raised without antibiotics or hormones. That means the meat is cleaner and safer for you to eat.

Plus, because they’re eating a natural diet, their meat is packed with more vitamins and minerals.  So, bottom line: pasture-raised poultry is better for you and it’s better for the environment.  It’s a win-win!
