EBAA takes a trip to Marin Sun Farms

by East Bay Animal Advocates
Earlier this summer, a member of East Bay Animal Advocates visited Marin
Sun Farms, a small-scale poultry egg/meat and beef producer in Northern
California. With National Chicken Month in full-swing, EBAA would like
to share with you a slideshow from the visit to the farm.
The San Francisco Chronicle published a feature this week about "raising
poultry the new-old way", which features Marin Sun Farms and other small
poultry farmers. Read an excerpt:

"As Karen Black, executive director of the American Pastured Poultry
Producers Association and an Oregon chicken rancher, put it: 'There's a
reason Foster Farms isn't raising their poultry on pasture.' The new
demand for pastured poultry is a reaction against the extremes of
commercial chicken production - cages, crowding, breeding chicks for
breasts so broad they can't walk and die of a heart attack."

EBAA wants to hear your thoughts about Marin Sun Farms and the idea of
pastured-raised poultry:
