Pastured Poultry Packet

Attn: Farmers and Homesteaders

 
 
 

What is it actually going to cost you to raise broiler chickens? This is how you find out.

 

Thinking about starting or growing your pastured broiler operation? Don’t you wish someone put together every piece of paper you wish you had to start and grow your pastured poultry operation? Want to take some of the guess work out of planning, tracking, and assessing exactly what you’re doing when you put a chicken out on grass and then try to sell it?

With several years experience raising broiler chickens under my belt I have collected detailed information specific to pastured poultry. Through Farm Marketing Solutions I am now able to refine and package them together for you to shorten your learning curve and get the right systems in place from the start.

 

 

What does it do?

The Pastured Poultry Packet walks you through step by step, penny by penny, how to determine the start up costs and operational costs of raising broiler chickens on grass.

If you plan on farming as a business this packet will help you determine viability and set prices for your products. If you are just growing chickens for your family then this will get you set up and determine your savings by growing your own food.

Testimonials for the Pastured Poultry Packet #1
Rob Gordon - "Well written and illustrated."

John does a great job documenting the process of planning, budgeting and running a pastured poultry business with this packet.  This well written and illustrated work will give you the knowledge needed to start a flock with the confidence of having detailed notes, tips and business knowhow from an experienced mentor.

DJ Bradshaw - "Easy to use."

The Pasture Poultry Packet that Farm Marking Solutions as presented us is one of ease of reading and use.  John and Scott implementation of well thought out ideas and concepts, from years of experience, into this wonderful packet is a thing of beauty.  The packet is easy to use and will aid us here at Shadow B Farms in Northeast Georgia as we expand into our new farm business venture.  John and Scott have crafted this packet to be applicable to the backyard homesteader as well as those farms that want to incorporate pastured poultry into their business model.  Farm Marketing Solutions is leading the way toward more sustainable agriculture by fostering the spirit of sharing knowledge and experience and building a strong community feeling among farms both old and new with this philosophy.  Thanks and keep up the good and helpful work.

Lindsey Devoll - "Incredibly detailed and complete."

The Pastured Poultry Packet that John and Scott have put together is, in my opinion, an invaluable resource for everyone considering raising pastured poultry on any scale. It's incredibly detailed and complete.  I've been watching John's Farm Marketing Solutions videos for about a year now and I've known that I wanted to raise pastured poultry since I first found them on YouTube, but I didn't feel confident that I could succeed the first time out of the gate. Having a limited amount of resources to get started with, I can't afford to make any costly mistakes. The forms in this packet take out the guess work. With his best advice, formed from his years of experience in this packet, I feel confident that my first year will be a good year and that I can continue to grow.

John Lark - "A must have!"

The Pastured Poultry Packet is a MUST HAVE for anyone looking at getting into or already raising pastured broilers.  Planning, Budgeting, Raising and Marketing is all covered in extremely well.  Its the little things in this book that will give you that edge you need to be successful.  Just remember, farming isn't the easiest but it sure helps having guides like these to reference when your stumped.

Jo Smith - "A valuable tool."

The Pastured Poultry Packet will be a valuable tool in my poultry endeavors; so many items that I hadn’t thought to consider.

Free Gift!!!

For making it to the bottom of the page I wanted to give you this free gift. It is the tracking sheet we use for every day of our broiler operation here on the farm. We use it to track:

  • Feed consumption

  • Shavings used

  • Mortality

  • Any major events

Tracking on a day to day basis helps with analyzing later. How are you going to know what happened without data?
