Welcome to Soil Grown Farms!
Pasture Poultry
I believe that healthy soil raises healthy food so to build healthy soil we raise chicken on pasture in mobile coops we call chicken tractors. Everyday we pull them across the field to fresh grass so they can scratch, peck, forage for bugs and run around on daily while also fertilizing the land with their manure. By giving these chickens a healthy, happy life on pasture instead of trapped in a barn we get a premium product that is delicious, ethical and promotes regeneration of the land.
Who are we?
My name is Sam, and I am currently a part time farmer and full time student athlete. When I am not working on Soil Grown Farms, I am on the Varsity Rowing team and studying Environmental Science at the University of Portland.
Farming is not just a job for me, it is a passion. Starting Soil Grown Farms has been a huge step in pursuing my passion for sustainable, regenerative agriculture.
While at UP, my athletic career helps me build my skills of dedication and hard work, and my pursuit of a degree in Environmental Science strengthens my knowledge about the natural world and the way humans interact with it.
After I graduate, I plan to continue to grow and use these skills moving back to Nanaimo and focusing on growing Soil Grown Farms full time.
