Pasture Raised Chickens: SNAP Eligible Item

Pasture-raised chicken has several benefits compared to conventionally raised chicken. Here are a few of them:

  • Higher in Omega-3 fatty acids: Pasture-raised chicken is higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that are important for brain function, heart health, and reducing inflammation.

  • Higher in vitamins and minerals: Pasture-raised chicken contains higher levels of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, and selenium, compared to conventionally raised chicken.

  • No antibiotics or hormones: Pasture-raised chicken is raised without the use of antibiotics or hormones, which means you won't be consuming these harmful substances when you eat it.

  • Lower risk of foodborne illness: Pasture-raised chicken is raised in a more natural environment and is not crowded together with other chickens, which reduces the risk of foodborne illness such as salmonella or campylobacter.

  • Better for the environment: Non-GMO pasture-raised chicken is better for the environment as it does not contribute to the proliferation of genetically modified crops, which can have negative impacts on the soil, water, and wildlife.

  • More humane treatment of animals: Non-GMO pasture-raised chicken is raised with more humane treatment of animals, allowing them to roam freely outdoors and engage in natural behaviors, which results in less stress and healthier chickens.
