Feed Transparency

What Makes Our Chicken Different

At Archa Glad Acres, we believe true transparency starts with what goes INTO our chickens. Our birds enjoy fresh pasture, sunshine, and clean Texas air. We also provide them with the cleanest supplemental feed available.

Our Feed Promise: 100% Free From:

• Gluten (NO wheat, barley, or rye)
• Soy (NO soybeans or soy byproducts)
• Lectins (NO inflammatory compounds)
• Pesticides (NO chemical residues)
• Fungicides (NO toxic treatments)
• Herbicides (NO glyphosate or harmful chemicals)

This means when you eat our chicken, you're getting truly clean protein, free from the inflammatory compounds and chemical residues found in conventional poultry.

Why This Matters

Most commercial chicken is fed cheap corn and soy-based feed loaded with pesticides, herbicides (like glyphosate), and anti-nutritional compounds like lectins. These substances accumulate in the chicken's tissues and end up on your plate.

Our premium feed formulation eliminates these concerns entirely. We source only the highest-quality ingredients that are:

✓ Non-GMO
✓ Free from chemical treatments
✓ Specially formulated without common inflammatory triggers
✓ Designed to support optimal chicken health and flavor

The Result: Better Chicken for Your Family

Clean feed = clean chicken. Our customers consistently report:
• Richer, more traditional chicken flavor
• Better texture and juiciness
• Confidence knowing exactly what they're feeding their family
• Relief for those avoiding gluten, soy, or lectins for health reasons
