About Draper Valley Farms

While I raise chickens myself (in fact I wrote a whole book about it! Check out my book about chicken keeping here.), I'm only raising the hens in my backyard for eggs.

Since I'm not raising my own meat chickens at home, I love that Draper Valley raises their ROXY™ organic chickens in a reduced-stress, free-range environment and feeds them non-GMO, organic feed right here in the Pacific Northwest.

And since recycling and sustainability are also Northwest traditions, I especially love that ROXY™ the Organic Chicken is packaged on recyclable trays so we can reduce how much of our food-related waste is going to the landfill!
