Henri Spaan, a Fellow at Quivira, is raising delicious and nutritious broiler chickens and turkeys this summer and utilizing our processing plant. Please go to http://hankshens.com for more information. Our birds are less stressed from not having to travel to an off-site processing facility. The results are safe, flavorful, and tender chickens and turkeys.

The waste from our processing plant is put into the compost pile and after two years this rich amendment is added to the soil in the vegetable garden. We have a “zero-waste” system with our processing plant. We are proud of the fact that we control the quality of our poultry products from start to finish!
Besides the grasses, weeds, seeds, and bugs that our chickens consume daily in the beautiful Colorado sunshine, all of our poultry are fed a supplement of Colorado grown organic grains. For this, we are very proud!
