About Tree-Range® Chicken

Tree-Range® Chicken is based in Minnesota, near Cannon City. They were founded by Tree-Range® Farms in partnership with two other southern Minnesota beginning farmers. Tree-Range® birds are raised by family farmers in ways that are better for animals, people, and the planet. They raise slower-growing breeds of chickens in small flocks and are free-ranged under a protective and productive canopy of trees. Chickens are fed Certified Organic feed and sprouted whole grains, along with natural supplements like organic apple cider vinegar and essential oils, and happily cluck around, foraging for bugs. They are never given antibiotics or growth hormones. Tree-Range® Chicken is also Certified Organic.

Tree-Range® Chicken contributes to regenerative farming systems

Tree-Range® chickens are raised under a canopy in a coop & paddock system that integrates perennial crops like hazelnuts and elderberries into the diets of the chickens. This seasonal production system protects the birds and improves environmental quality through a design that prioritizes soil building, biodiversity, and clean water. The result is a consistently high-quality, nutritious, and tasty chicken. This poultry-centered regenerative farming system is indigenous in its origination, with its deployment led by Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance. Tree-Range® Chicken also has a focus on ensuring that production is sustainable for their farmers. They work to provide profitable pricing for farmers and work with an intentionally diverse partnership of producers. Tree-Range® Chicken emphasizes fair wages and provides support for farm and food processing workers.
