About US
Bare Naked Birdies was built on a simple idea:
if you change how you raise a chicken, you change everything.
Not just how it lives—but how it tastes, how it cooks, and how it nourishes.
We’re a small team of farmers, chefs, and builders who came together to rethink what “better chicken” really means. Because for us, pasture alone wasn’t enough. We believed it had to start with what the bird eats, how it grows, and how it’s cared for every step of the way.
What Makes Us Different
Not all pasture-raised chicken is the same.
While many focus on access to pasture ONLY, we believe the biggest difference comes from what the bird eats every single day.
That’s why we’ve built a certified organic, no corn, no soy feed program—something you won’t find in most poultry operations, even organic ones.
Instead of relying on conventional grain-heavy diets, our feed is made from thoughtfully selected ingredients, including marine-based proteins, flaxseed, and nutrient-dense organic inputs. This supports:
A more balanced nutritional profile
Natural, steady growth over ~8 weeks
Better flavor, texture, and cooking performance
Because chickens are monogastric animals, what they eat directly impacts the quality of the meat. So we don’t treat feed as a commodity—we treat it as the foundation of everything.
How We Raise Our Birds
Our birds are raised on certified organic land in Lincoln, California, where they are given the space to roam, forage, and grow at a natural pace.
We don’t accelerate growth.
We don’t use filler feeds.
And we don’t cut corners.
Raised free-rage with daily access to open pasture
No corn. No soy. Ever.
No antibiotics or added hormones
Air-chilled for better texture and natural quality
This slower, more intentional approach allows for proper muscle development and results in chicken that performs better in the kitchen and on the plate.
Beyond the Bird
We believe how food is raised should also support the land it comes from.
Through regenerative farming practices, we focus on building soil health, improving biodiversity, and working in harmony with natural systems—not against them.
Because raising better food shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment.
We’re not trying to be the biggest.
We’re focused on being the most thoughtful.
From feed to farm to final product, everything we do is designed with purpose—so you can feel confident in what you’re bringing to your table.
