hens.
Real pasture.
Honest eggs.

Two brothers who know the conventional poultry industry from the inside — and decided to build something better.

Our Story

Built by farmers who know the other way.

Pastured Poultry Unlimited was started by two brothers with careers inside the conventional egg industry. We've seen that system from the inside — and we know how it treats hens, land, and growers. We started PPU because we believe there's a better model.

This is not a lifestyle brand or a marketing exercise. It's a real farm business built on honest practices, fair relationships, and the conviction that transparency is worth more than a certificate on the wall.

We're a Central Texas operation, and we're building something meant to last — for the land, for our families, and for the buyers who want a supplier they can actually trust.

Farm visits are always welcome. Come see the operation, see the birds, ask hard questions. That's how we earn trust.
How We Do It

The second-chance model.

The conventional industry culls laying hens at the end of their first production cycle. We divert those birds, allow them to molt and recover, and return them to production on rotated pasture in mobile houses. It's better for the birds, better for the land, and it produces eggs that speak for themselves.

01

Second-Chance Hens

We source late-cycle hens diverted from the cull stream. They get time to molt and recover before entering our pasture system — hens that would otherwise be discarded, now producing eggs with real food value.

02

Rotated Pasture

Our mobile hoop houses move across the land on a rotation schedule. Hens forage real grass. Ground recovers. Nothing is static. The land is better for having them on it.

03

Radical Transparency

We don't lead with certifications. We lead with visibility. Our answer to the question of trust is an open door: come to the farm, see the birds, and decide for yourself.

What We Produce

Grade A large eggs from hens that live outside.

Our eggs are Grade A large, packed under Texas Egg License 0963985. The yolk color is a direct product of genuine pasture access and managed rotation — not a label claim, but a result you can see.

We sell to grocery co-ops, restaurants, and direct buyers who want a reliable pasture egg supplier with a real story. Volume, pack type, and delivery arrangements are worked out directly, person-to-person.

What "Second-Chance" Actually Means

The conventional egg industry operates on a simple clock: lay for a cycle, get culled. We intercept those hens before that happens, give them time to molt and recover, and put them back to work on real pasture. Here's why that matters — for the birds, the land, and the egg.

Why We Don't Lead With Certifications

Certifications cost money, take time, and can be gamed. We're not against them — but we think visibility beats paperwork. Our answer to "how do I know your eggs are what you say they are?" is an open gate, not a sticker. Come see for yourself.

Mobile Houses and Why Rotation Is the Whole Point

A stationary chicken house is a concentration problem waiting to happen — for the soil, for the birds, for the eggs. Our mobile hoop houses move on a schedule. The land recovers. The hens forage genuinely. This isn't a premium feature. It's the whole model.
