These "soup backs" come from our pastured chickens, and are great for making bone broth! A soup back is the carcass left over from processing a chickens into retail cut. At Granja Las Aguilas, very little goes to waste. We use a crockpot and cook for at least 12 hours to make a delicious and nutritious stock / bone broth; a pressure cooker also works great.
Our chickens eat only grass, bugs, organic sprouted oats, and a 20% protein organic grain mix (contains certified organic wheat, soy, corn, alfalfa, and sunflower seeds). Packages weigh between 1.5 and 3 lbs each. The cost is $4.00 per pound.
Health Benefits of Bone Broth:
The collagen, gelatin, vitamins and minerals in stock made from a soup back supports skin elasticity, strong joints and lubrication, reduced joint inflammation, and hair and nail growth. The natural gelatin in the joints supports gut health, by soothing digestive linings and improved nutrient absorption. Its calcium and other minerals support bone strength and density.

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.
