Rosie® Organic Chicken is fed a diet made of 100% certified USDA organic corn and soybean grown on soil that has been free of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers for at least three years. Petaluma Poultry raises Rosie in accordance with the organic protocols independently verified by Oregon Tilth, a third party certifier.

The Oregon Tilth visits the poultry houses, feed mill and processing plant to confirm that organic practices are followed at all times. We maintain a rigorous audit trail documenting the hatching, growing, processing and distribution of each bird. Dick Krengel, President of Willowbrook Feed, says "We can track a box of Rosies from our delivery truck all the way back to the field where their organic feed was grown."

Rosie is a free range chicken, allowed to run and forage outdoors in an open-air, fenced area outside the barn. At market, Rosie's weight averages 4 pounds.

• Rosie's feed is 100% USDA certified organic and contains no GMO's or antibiotics. In contrast, conventional growers use antibiotics to stimulate growth.

• Rosie tastes like what she eats, and at Petaluma Poultry the vegetarian diet consists of corn and soybean meal. Conventional feed contains animal fat and animal byproducts.

• Rosie grows from day one to maturity in a stress free environment - spacious poultry houses that have natural daylight. They roam freely throughout these barns; the earth floor is covered with a layer of rice hulls, and natural bedding.

• Rosie receives humane treatment at all times during their lives.

• The ranchers use sustainable farming methods.
