Pastured chicken grown by your neighbors
Our truly free-range chickens are raised on pasture with 24/7 access to grass, bugs, fresh air, sunshine or rain, and moved to fresh pasture daily. These birds spend their days walking, scratching, foraging a diverse diet, and it shows in their rich yellow fat and delicious meat.
Chickens are raised without antibiotics or hormones and fed organic, non-GMO grain and rotated to fresh pasture daily to mimic their natural movement patterns and optimize soil health.
So Below Farm is a small family farm in Ashland, Wisconsin. We use rotational grazing to protect the health and biodiversity of our soils and produce nutritious protein. Our pasture-raised chicken, duck, pork, lamb, goat, and eggs exceeds organic standards and provide delicious, nourishing meat for our family and yours.

Perennial plant biology, grassland ecology, ruminant stomach and soil bacterial similarities, it all suggests that healthy ecosystems in temperate climates require large plant eating ruminants (think cows, elk, moose, bison) to function properly. We believe that soils and biodiversity are enhanced through well managed rotational grazing. Our measure for success is the increasing biodiversity on our pastures, in our forests, below our ponds, and above our heads.
We have seen the interplay of healthy soil, robust plant life, and well nourished animals increase biodiversity, productivity, and beauty on the landscapes on which we have worked.
Healthy soil is the glue that holds our farm and its future together. With that in mind, we farm for better soil and use the health of the land and its creatures as our measure of success.
We raise all ruminant animals (cows, sheep, goats) with no grain in their diets. They eat grasses, forbes, shrubs, and we supplement with kelp and salt. Chickens and pigs are fed organic grain rations along with the kelp and salt.
