About Franklin Acres
We’re a small family farm focused on raising poultry with practical, pasture-based management and careful handling from start to finish. Our goal is to provide families in our community with great-tasting poultry you can feel good about serving.
About ten years ago, our family’s relationship with food changed when my husband was diagnosed with Alpha-Gal. Before that, he hunted to fill our freezer with a healthy, natural alternative to store-bought beef. Since then, poultry has become the cornerstone of our meals, and we choose farm-raised birds over supermarket poultry whenever possible.
Fresh air, room to move, and regular rotations help keep birds comfortable and pasture healthy.
Consistent access to clean water and quality feed supports steady growth and overall well-being.
We handle processing and storage with care—cold chain and cleanliness are a top priority.
