If you’ve never tasted real bone broth — I mean the real deal, not the watery stuff in a carton — you’re in for something special.

Here on the farm, we make our chicken bone broth from scratch using pasture-raised chicken backs and feet, simmered low and slow to extract every bit of flavor and nutrition.

The result is a rich, golden broth that gels when it’s cold (a sign of the natural collagen) and delivers a depth of flavor and nourishment you just can’t get from the store.

Let’s break down why it’s worth keeping around all year long.

1. It Starts With How the Chickens Are Raised

Our chickens are raised the right way: on pasture, with daily moves to fresh grass, and a diet that’s non-GMO and free from anything synthetic or sketchy.

This matters. The bones, joints, and connective tissue from pasture-raised animals produce broth with more nutrients, better flavor, and a cleaner fat profile than animals raised in confinement.

What does the research say?

A 2018 study published in Food Chemistry showed that the nutritional quality of bone broth is directly tied to the health and diet of the animals it comes from. Chickens raised outdoors on diverse forage have higher levels of Omega-3s, antioxidants, and fat-soluble vitamins like A and E.

We don’t cut corners, and the quality of our broth shows it. This isn’t just a flavorful base — it’s food as medicine.

2. The Health Benefits Are No Joke

Our bone broth is loaded with:

   - Collagen and gelatin – great for joint health, skin elasticity, and hair growth

   - Glycine and proline – amino acids that support gut lining repair and liver detox

   - Minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus – all in an easily absorbable form

   - Immune support – especially helpful during cold season or recovery


Why do people love it?

Many of our customers use it during recovery from illness, intermittent fasting, or even as a protein-rich base to start the day. There’s growing evidence that regular consumption of high-collagen bone broth can reduce joint pain and improve mobility, particularly in aging adults.

We’ve had customers tell us it helped with everything from digestion to clearer skin and improving their hair — and they feel the difference within days of using it regularly.

3. It’s the Secret Weapon in Your Kitchen

Don’t think of bone broth as just a soup starter — it’s way more versatile than that.

You can:

✔️ Sip it warm with a pinch of salt for a morning or bedtime boost

✔️ Use it to cook rice or quinoa for added flavor and nutrition

✔️ Deglaze a skillet or pan with it after searing meat

✔️ Make gravy or sauces richer

✔️ Add it to mashed potatoes or stuffing instead of water or milk

✔️ Freeze it in ice cube trays to drop into stir-fries or braises later

4. That Gel in the Fridge? That’s the Good Stuff

When real bone broth cools, it turns into a jelly-like consistency — that’s the gelatin, and it means it’s full of collagen. This is what makes your joints happy and your soup silky.

Store-bought broth is usually watered down and pressure-processed to stay liquid on the shelf. We skip all that and let nature do its thing.

If it doesn’t jiggle, it’s just soup water with a marketing label slapped on.

5. No Shortcuts, Ever

Our broth takes at least 24 hours to make, and we only use filtered water, organic herbs, apple cider vinegar, and real bones from healthy animals. No preservatives, no “natural flavors,” no synthetic anything.

The vinegar helps extract minerals from the bones, the herbs round out the flavor, and time does the rest.


Here’s what you’ll find in ours:

   - Pastured chicken bones (backs, necks, feet)

   - Filtered water

   - Apple cider vinegar

   - Onion, celery, garlic, and parsley


That’s it. And that’s how it should be. Keep It Simple, Nourish Deep


We believe that food should nourish your body and connect you to where it came from. Our chicken bone broth does both — and it tastes darn good doing it.

If you haven’t tried it yet, grab a pack next time you’re restocking your freezer. Warm up a mug and give it a sip. You might be surprised just how good simple food can be when it’s made right.
