    Organic Poultry Production vs. Other Systems

    Revised

    There are a number of different poultry production systems available today, and consumers commonly confuse organic poultry production with other systems. Pasture-raised poultry and natural poultry are not organically produced, as they do not meet all or any of the standards set by the National Organic Program, which regulates and certifies production systems as “organic.” Consumers should be aware of the differences between each of the poultry production systems as they purchase poultry products.
