"Pasture raised chickens are fed a primary diet of balanced feed, supplemented by an instinctive diet rich in insects, worms, legumes, grasses and seeds found naturally while foraging. The resulting meat is higher in vitamins, nutrients, and essential fatty acids due to the varied diet that the chickens are exposed to during their lifetime.
A healthier diet is just one benefit of being raised on pasture. It doesn’t take an experienced farmer to guess that an animal who lives most of its life outdoors with access to sunlight, fresh water, and a pasture to graze on is going to be healthier and happier than one confined to a dark, crowded, dirty space.

Granja Las Aguilas offers eggs, meat chickens, lamb, strawberries, and a selection of veggies. We sell at the Winter Market at Bachman's (last one March 14, 10am to 1pm) and the Southwest Market at Mt. Olivet Church (May 18 to Oct 31, 8:30am sharp to 1pm). You can also pre-order online here and pick a location/date to pick up your order.
We use organic methods and certified organic inputs (e.g. fertilizer, animal feed, etc), but Granja Las Aguilas is not currently certified organic. We (Silvano and Gina) have between us over a decade of experience in organic agriculture.
Other environmental practices:
- We protect our nearby waterways from livestock with a large setback (distance) and high-tensile fence that separates our pastures from the wetlands bordering our farm. We see dozens of varieties of birds and other creatures gracing our wetlands! Please contact us to visit for photography and general relaxation.
- We practice rotational and managed grazing for the health of our soil and animals.
- We have lots of milkweed and "weeds" beneficial to pollinators and insects, that we try to let stand whenever possible. Even the stand of milkweed that stubbornly inhabits the garden!
- We are constantly learning about new methods in regenerative agriculture, and how we can improve our processes.
