Animal Welfare

We believe in raising chickens with care. Animal welfare is a core value at Maple Hill Farms, ensuring happy, healthy birds and delicious chicken you can trust.

Beyond Industry Standards: G.A.P. Certified Poultry

At Maple Hill Farms, animal welfare is paramount. We believe happy, healthy chickens lead to delicious and nutritious poultry you can feel good about. That’s why we’re committed to exceeding industry standards and adhering to the Global Animal Partnership (G.A.P.) Step 2 welfare rating. This rigorous certification program ensures our chickens are raised with respect for their natural behaviors and well-being.

What does that Mean For Our Chickens?

Antibiotic-Free:

 We firmly believe in raising our chickens without the use of antibiotics. This promotes a healthier environment for the birds and reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance in humans.

Free-Run in
Enriched Barns: 

Our chickens are raised in enriched barns, providing ample space to roam freely and express their natural behaviours. These barns are equipped with windows, allowing natural sunlight to support their natural circadian rhythm and emotional well-being.

100% Vegetarian Diet: 

Our chickens are fed a nutritious, 100% vegetarian diet free from animal by-products. This aligns with their natural foraging instincts and contributes to their overall health.

By prioritizing animal welfare throughout the raising process, we’re not only ensuring the ethical treatment of our chickens but also contributing to a more sustainable and responsible food system.
