Here’s What We Do:

At Janssen Farms, we have made the decision not to become government certified in order to save ourselves and our customers’ the cost, but we still maintain all organic standards. All our birds have both shelter and access to the outdoors where they free-range, weather permitting.  There is always feed and fresh, clean water available.  And all our feed is certified oranganic. You can be assured that food from Janssen Farms comes from humanely treated animals eating only the best food!
