About Our Corn & Soy Free Pasture Raised Chicken

Corn and soy free pasture raised chicken from Primal Pastures is raised entirely outdoors on open pasture, with no corn, no soy, and no synthetic additives in the feed. Our pastured chickens forage naturally on grass and insects, producing meat with a richer flavor profile and a healthier fat balance than conventionally raised birds.

Because we eliminate corn and soy, the two most common feed ingredients in commodity poultry, you get clean protein that fits ancestral, carnivore, and elimination-diet lifestyles. Every cut is hand-processed in small batches and shipped frozen directly to your door. Browse our full selection of pasture raised chicken below, from whole birds to individual cuts.

Why Corn & Soy Free Chicken Matters

Corn and soy are the most widely used ingredients in conventional poultry feed, and they come with tradeoffs. Corn is calorie-dense but high in omega-6 linoleic acid, which can skew the fat ratio in chicken meat toward inflammatory pathways when consumed in excess. Soy is the dominant protein source in commercial chicken diets, but it contains phytoestrogens and is one of the FDA's top nine major allergens, making it a concern for people with sensitivities or those following elimination diets.

Primal Pastures removes both corn and soy from the feed entirely. That matters whether you follow a carnivore protocol, an ancestral diet, a low-PUFA framework, or simply want to know exactly what your food ate. Third-party lab testing from Edacious Food Lab backs this up: our chicken tests at 51% fewer PUFAs and a 6:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, compared to 12:1 for conventional chicken.

Our chicken is 100% pasture raised, corn and soy free, vaccine free, and all USA born, raised, and harvested.

How to Choose Your Pasture Raised Chicken Cut

All Primal Pastures chicken is corn and soy free and pasture raised, the difference between cuts comes down to cooking method, portion size, and flavor intensity.

Whole Chicken

Best for roasting, spatchcocking, or slow cooker meals. A whole bird delivers the best value per pound and is ideal for meal prepping multiple servings at once.

Chicken Thighs

Dark meat with higher fat content and deeper flavor. Thighs are forgiving to cook and stay moist in the oven, on the grill, or braised in a skillet.

Chicken Drumsticks

Economical, family-friendly, and excellent for grilling or baking. The bone-in format delivers rich collagen and flavor.

Chicken Breasts

Lean white meat with a mild flavor. Best cooked quickly over high heat or sliced for salads and stir-fries. Because our birds are pastured rather than factory farmed, the breasts remain naturally sized, not artificially enlarged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pasture raised chicken and how is it different from regular chicken?

Pasture raised chicken comes from birds that are raised outdoors on open pasture where they can roam freely and forage naturally. Unlike conventional poultry, pastured chicken is not confined to crowded barns and is raised in a healthier, more natural environment. This results in chicken that is often more flavorful and nutrient-dense.

Is your chicken corn and soy free?

Yes. Our pasture raised chicken is fed a carefully selected diet that does not include corn or soy. This allows us to offer corn and soy free chicken for customers who prefer poultry raised without common feed allergens while maintaining high animal welfare standards.

What does soy free chicken mean?

Soy free chicken refers to poultry raised without soy in the feed. Many customers choose soy free chicken to avoid common allergens or to follow a cleaner, more natural diet. Combined with pasture-based farming, this approach helps produce chicken raised with more thoughtful farming practices.

What are the benefits of pastured chicken?

Pastured chicken is raised outdoors with access to fresh air, sunlight, and pasture. This environment supports natural chicken behavior and responsible farming practices. Many people prefer pasture raised chicken for its richer flavor, ethical farming methods, and more traditional approach to raising poultry.

How is pastured chicken raised on regenerative farms?

On regenerative farms, chickens are moved regularly to fresh pasture so they can forage naturally. This rotational grazing system improves soil health, supports biodiversity, and allows the birds to live in a healthier outdoor environment while producing high-quality pastured chicken.

What do chickens eat if not corn and soy?

Pasture raised chickens that are corn and soy free eat a species-appropriate diet of fresh grass, forbs, seeds, and insects they forage from the pasture. At Primal Pastures, we supplement their natural forage with a custom-milled grain blend that contains no corn or soy ingredients, giving the birds a nutritionally complete diet without the two most prevalent allergens and omega-6-heavy ingredients found in conventional poultry feed.

What chicken is soy free?

Primal Pastures chicken is both corn and soy free: our birds are raised on pasture and fed a custom grain ration free from corn, soy, and their derivatives.
