Free Range Pastured Chickens & Rabbits

Our Free Range Chickens are moved daily and get to sample at a nice new Salad Bar daily! Thanks to our easy to build, inexpensive, upcycled, free range chicken tractor.

We do a lot of upcycling and this Chicken Tractor is made of 6 old Mink Cages and can house up to 54 Chickens. Although we usually only do about half that number, allowing them to have more space. 

We move the Chicken Tractor daily, and we cover it with wires and tarps, that protects the birds from the elements and they are on pasture for about eight months out of the year. It’s a lot of work, but it really does make for happy chickens! 🐔🐔🐔

Happier chickens lay more eggs!

Naturally Smoked Berkshire Ham and Bacon

It’s so nice to have a great meal that’s been grown on the Farm! 

Every year I do my best to raise happy pigs, grow delicious, nutritious potatoes, and put quality food in the Larder; so to speak. 

It makes me wonder, each new year, if the exceptional quality will be there!?

Whether it’s like the Supper meal of Naturally Smoke Cured, Woodland Pastured Berkshire Pork, & Kennebec Potatoes or like the Fresh Free Range Eggs pictured below with the Ham and Bacon. Pan fried in our Cast Iron Frying Pan. Of Course! 

 Berkshire Pork Ham and Bacon With Fresh Free Range Eggs

Quality Pork comes from providing a quality life for our Pigs. We use rotational pastures, and regenerative farming techniques that help provide them with fresh pasture and supplement with feed to help provide a balanced diet. Most days our pigs can be seen rooting and chewing in their Woodland Pastures while their little tails spin around with pleasure and excitement.

Milking Our Goat On Pasture At The Barn Property

Milking Our Goat On Pasture

One of my long time dreams, when it comes to goats, is to be able to sit o a hillside and milk a goat. I realized that dream a few days ago! It was a misty morning, the sun just breaking through, and the hill was overlooking the work the goats and pigs have been doing at The Barn Property. Unfortunately I didn’t get a video of that! 

However, today, the Barn Property owner, Cheryl was there and did the following video of us milking …

We use our Briden Farm Goats, Pigs, Chickens, and Bunnies to help rid the area of invasive weeds, like Japanese Knotweed, Goldenrod, and Lupines. The animals do an incredible job, as seen in the photo above. Not only do they do a good job getting rid of weeds, the disturbance they cause the vegetation and soil helps to regenerate the land as is evidenced by the green grass that emerges after the animals pass through, as we rotate their pasture. 

If you’d like more information on how our Briden Farm animals work and the results, we do have testimonials and would love to talk to You. Contact Brian at Briden Farm 902-907-0770.
