Environmental Awareness

Environmentally friendly

Since our Air Chill System uses cold air not water to chill our chickens, we are able to save tens of thousands of gallons of water each day. And since water is not weeping from the chicken, we will now be able to use recyclable and reusable shipping containers.

As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we are constantly looking for new ways to protect our local environment and eliminate land fill.

Currently we recycle over 20 tons of corrugated cardboard each month. As we move forward, we will be eliminating our waxed cartons and moving toward shipping some of our products in reusable containers.

Our wastewater treatment plant is state-of-the-art and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is quite satisfied with the operations of the facility. The wastewater effluent is discharged into a stream that has abundant fish, muskrat, mink, frog, and bird activity.

Protecting our environment... It's the right thing to do.
