8353

In this episode, we sat down with Primal Pastures and Pasturebird founder Paul Grieve to discuss his revolutionary large-scale chicken production model.  After years of innovation, Paul has solved one of the largest issues American chicken farmers have faced for the last five decades–getting birds out of stationary houses (CAFOs) and back on pasture. With the help of several industry icons, Paul and the regenerative agriculture movement are now working towards a better farming model for the future. Tune in to hear Paul's transformational story, starting with 50 birds in his in-law's backyard to operating the largest pastured chicken production in the country.
