Ever heard about pastured chicken?

It’s gaining popularity right now among the more health-conscious people out there. 

Pastured chicken offers a superior alternative to conventionally raised poultry. 

The nutritional values are higher and in my opinion, it tastes better.

In this article, we’ll explore what pastured chicken is and why I’ve switched to using Miller’s Bio Farm as my go to for all of the poultry products that I consume.

Ready?

Let’s dive in!

How I Became A Customer Of Miller’s Bio Farm

Hey, my name’s Angela.

But most people online know me as The Carnivore Gal.

And that’s because after getting Lyme disease just over a year ago, I had to transition to eating a carnivore based diet in order to regain my health.

I started sharing my journey on Facebook with other people and so far over 150,000 individuals have been inspired enough by my story to follow me.

You can read more about my carnivore diet journey here.

Anyways…

A few months ago, I saw several people online talking about Miller’s Bio Farm and their raw dairy products.

Which sent me down a rabbit hole of researching the benefits of raw dairy.

And after completing my research, it wasn’t long before I placed my first order.

After receiving my order from Miller’s Bio Farm, I was so impressed with the quality of their products that I decided to call them up to tell them how happy I was.

It was at this point that I had a conversation with Marie Reedell, who is the Director Of Marketing And Innovation for Miller’s Bio Farm.

It was a great chat.

And it has led to me sharing Miller’s Bio Farm products with my audience.

But it also opened my eyes to the other products that they have to offer. One of them being pastured chicken. 

What Is Pastured Chicken? 

Miller’s pastured chicken comes from birds that are allowed to forage for countless seeds and bugs in the pasture. 

Their birds are frequently moved in mobile coops.

In addition to the food that they naturally forage, they feed their birds with a: 

  • Soy-free
  • Corn-free 
  • GMO-free feed

The additional feed is packed with healthy vitamins and minerals.

Miller’s pastured chicken is also chemical-free, antibiotic-free and hormone-free.

As someone who cares about how my food is raised and is extremely sensitive to anything that is added to my food, knowing the above is extremely beneficial to me.

It allows me to order from Miller’s, with the confidence that my food is as healthy and clean as it can possibly be.

Why You Should Choose Miller’s Pastured Chicken

Nutritional Superiority

Miller’s pastured chicken has a perfect 1:1 omega 6/3 ratio.

I do not claim to be an expert on omega ratios in food. And for the sake of the length of this article, I won’t go into the importance of that too much here.

However, you can read this article by Miller’s to learn more about the significance of the omega ratios in the food you eat.

And just so you know…

Miller’s Bio Farm isn’t making these claims to make their chicken products sound healthier than they really are. Their chicken was tested by Dr. Stephan Van Vliet.

Dr. Stephan van Vliet is a researcher specializing in nutrition and metabolism. He earned his PhD in Kinesiology and Community Health from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 

He also completed post-doctoral training at the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine and the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute. 

His research focuses on the effects of diet on human health.

So, it’s safe to say that he knows his stuff!

Better Taste And Quality

In my opinion, the flavor of pastured chicken is unmatched. 

The meat is tender, juicy, and richer in taste compared to conventionally raised chicken. 

Once you try it, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought poultry.

Ethical And Sustainable Farming

Choosing pastured chicken supports farms that prioritize animal welfare and sustainable practices. Miller’s Bio Farm is a shining example of this commitment, offering products that are good for you and the planet.

Why I’ll Be A Customer Of Miller’s Bio Farm Pastured Chicken For Life

I do not like the negative impacts of factory-farmed chicken. 

I prefer healthier and more ethical options. 

Miller’s Bio Farm will have me as a customer for life because of their commitment to providing clean, high-quality pastured chicken raised on small family farms.

One taste of their chicken was enough to convince me. 

The flavor was incredible, and knowing that the chickens were ethically raised gave me peace of mind. Now, I buy all my poultry from them and I couldn’t be happier.

Cooking With Pastured Chicken

Cooking pastured chicken can be done in the exact same way as regular chicken.

I use a simple method that brings out the natural flavors of the chicken and ensures it’s tender and juicy every time.

Here’s my chicken leg quarters in the oven recipe.

It’s a no mess, one pan meal!

FAQ’s About Pastured Chicken

Q1: What Is The Difference Between Pastured Chicken And Factory Farmed Chicken?

There are many differences including living conditions, diet, and meat and egg quality, to name a few. But let’s focus on living conditions as an example. 

Pastured chickens are allowed to roam freely outdoors on pasture, where they can forage for insects, seeds, and plants. They are often kept in mobile coops that are moved regularly to fresh pasture.

Factory-Farmed chickens are confined in large, crowded barns (or battery cages for egg production) with little to no access to the outdoors. The focus is on high-density production.

Q2: Is Pastured Chicken More Expensive?

Yes, pastured chicken tends to cost more due to the higher standards of farming, but the health and ethical benefits make it worth it.

Q3: Is Pastured Chicken Safe To Eat?

Absolutely! When sourced from trusted providers like Miller’s Bio Farm, pastured chicken is safe and nutritious.

Eggnog's Medieval Magic

Eggnog's Medieval Magic

Well now, friends, let me tell you about eggnog - it's no yolk, this drink has been around forever! While history scholars are still whisking through different stories, most agree it sprouted from a Medieval drink called posset. Posset was hot milk curdled with wine or beer, served in a two-handled pot when folks caught the sniffles. Yup, that's right, I said sniffles. The warmth would settle your bones, the milk kept your strength up better than a day of plowing, and the alcohol and spices worked like nature's own medicine chest. Posset recipes were as varied as quilting patterns, every homestead had their own way to make it, and from this patchwork of kitchen wisdom grew a whole crop of milk based treasures, including... eggnog itself. Eggnog is a rich, chilled, sweet dairy drink that'll make you smile like you just finished morning milking. It's made with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and spices, simple as that! Most folks only raise a glass during a short spell around Christmas. It was those fancy British folks in the 1700s who turned eggnog into a holiday tradition. They'd add expensive spirits and spices to milk to preserve it through winter (yep, aged eggnog, just like preserving pickles in the cellar). Eventually, eggnog crossed the ocean to the Thirteen Colonies. As times changed and food became easier to come by, common folk adopted it as a cherished holiday drink. Today, food is everywhere you look, but finding the right kind is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Store-bought eggnog is stacked in every store, but I won't hitch my wagon to it. Store-bought eggnog is cooked up in factories to taste good and stay the same every time. But it's packed with additives, loaded with more sugar than a honey wagon, and has less than 2% egg yolks. Might as well call it milknog! And don't get me started on all that pasteurization business. If you've got the time, eggnog is easier than feeding chickens. Here's what you need: 4 egg yolks (fresh from the henhouse) ⅓ cup maple syrup (the real stuff, tapped honest) 2 cups raw milk (straight from Bessie, if you're blessed) 1 cup raw cream 1 tsp nutmeg (or whatever spices suit your fancy) 3 oz bourbon or rum (if you're of a mind to) You can mix these ingredients raw (like we do on the farm) or you can warm it up. Your barn, your rules. For a fuller eggnog, beat those yolks until they lighten like sunrise. Then fold in the rest. For a frothy eggnog that'll make you grin like a cat in the creamery, beat 4 egg whites until soft peaks form, then stir them into your finished batch. I highly recommend doing this whether you bought it from a farm stand or made it yourself. It's wonderful. So please, enjoy your eggnog this winter season. When you raise your glass, think on what you're celebrating. Toast to home remedies, good health, the wisdom of those who came before us, and honest food that comes from the land.

What’s really in a grocery store turkey?

What’s really in a grocery store turkey?

It’s that time of year again—the turkey takes center stage. Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just a Sunday family dinner, a golden-brown bird is often the star of the show. But if you’re grabbing a conventional turkey from the grocery store, you might be wondering: what’s actually in it besides turkey? Why not add weird stuff to our holiday dinner? Many conventional turkeys are “enhanced” before they even make it to the freezer aisle. That usually means they’ve been injected with a solution of water, salt, and sometimes sugar or broth. It’s meant to keep the meat "moist and flavorful", but it also means your turkey may contain up to 15% of stuff that isn’t turkey. Always check the fine print on the label—you might be paying turkey prices for salty water. I sure hope you like your turkey with a side of salt! Those injections can leave a grocery store turkey surprisingly high in sodium. And when you see “natural flavorings” or “seasonings” on the label, it isn’t always just herbs and spices—it can also mean more hidden salt and flavor enhancers. So what exactly are these “boosters”? Think modified food starch for texture, “natural flavorings,” caramel coloring, and sometimes even MSG for that extra hit of savory flavor.Here’s the kicker: take a look at this turkey below—it’s sold by a major brand and proudly labeled ALL NATURAL. But read closely, and you’ll see it actually contains about 4% “other ingredients” that aren’t clearly listed. Makes you wonder, right? Turns out the real stuffing happens long before Thanksgiving—it’s all corn, soy, and unnatural junk. Conventional turkeys are typically raised on large farms where antibiotics may be used to prevent illness in crowded conditions. The USDA regulates withdrawal periods before processing (meaning the birds shouldn’t have antibiotics in their system at slaughter). So does that mean the birds really aren't antibiotic free after all? How confusing for the consumer! As for what the conventional turkeys are fed: Grains:Corn, wheat, and barley aren’t just wholesome-sounding grains—they’re the cheapest way to pack calories into a turkey, fueling rapid growth. Efficiency, not nutrition, is the goal here.Seed Oils:Soy, canola, and flaxseed are tossed in, not out of kindness, but to boost fat content and keep growth on track. Soy especially dominates, since it’s cheap and plentiful—most of it genetically modified. So these turkeys are definitely not low PUFA.Protein sources:Turkeys grow fast, and that means they need protein—lots of it. Beyond soy, feed mills mix in other plant-based proteins to supercharge growth in young poults. The formula isn’t about balance or natural diets; it’s about pushing birds to market weight as quickly as possible. Seed oils, sugar and more, OH MY! Certain “self-basting” turkeys may also contain a touch of sugar or dextrose, oils, or even phosphates to help retain moisture during roasting. My gosh this list keeps going on and on... And the star of the show... Conventional turkeys are genetically bred to grow quickly and large, especially in the breast area—because that’s what most shoppers want. It’s something Big Ag has down to a science: decades of selective breeding for size and speed at the expense of health and flavor. The result? A bird designed for profit margins, not taste. Compared to wild or heritage turkeys, today’s supermarket turkeys are bland, bloated, and bred to fit industry demand, not the dinner table. These turkeys don’t look much like wild turkeys anymore. So what's in a Miller's turkey that makes them so darn special? ✔ Pasture Raised✔ Corn & Soy Free✔ Traditional "White" Breed - Has nice sized breasts✔ Washed in Water and Only Water✔ Nothing Added - No artificial flavors, no colors, no synthetic ingredients, no preservatives✔ Vaccine, Chemical, Antibiotic, Drug, and GMO FreeWondering what's in our turkey feed?
