Did you know that most "pasture raised" chicken is fed corn and soy? Many people with chronic illness or inflammation react to chicken because of this, but may not understand why.
For a while, I cut out both pork and chicken out of my diet, thinking they were inflammatory. I've since learned that when animals are fed as nature intended, they make for healthy, nourishing foods. When chicken is not fed corn and soy, their fat profile dramatically changes, making them a much better source of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Non ruminant animals such as chickens have a monogastric digestive system, meaning they have a single-compartmented stomach. Because of this, they do not have the capability to eliminate excess polyunsaturated fats (PUFAS) like cows and other ruminants can. So when they are fed an ancestrally inappropriate diet, these PUFAS accumulate in their fat, passing that on to the human eating it. This is why many people, especially those that are sensitive or chronically ill, feel better eating chicken that is corn and soy free.
Because it's so difficult to find sources for corn and soy free chicken, I've compiled a list of farms I've found that offer it. These farms are all located in the USA (and ship their products). It's always best to support local farms, but sometimes that isn't an option. Hopefully this list will help you in your search!
NorthStar Bison is a regenerative farm located in Wisconsin. They are very committed to raising their animals as nature intended with ancestrally appropriate diets—which is more rare than you might think. Everything I have eaten from NorthStar tastes amazing (and makes me feel great, too).

Cost of Corn & Soy Free Chicken
Due to how expensive it is to raise corn/soy free chicken, the prices will be higher than conventional chicken. Personally, I consider it an investment in my health (food is medicine). But it's important to note that if you feel good eating conventional meat, and can't afford pasture raised, then that's great. Health always comes first, and meat from the grocery store is SO much better than processed foods.
But for many, especially those that are seriously ill like I was, it makes a huge difference in healing to source meat that is regeneratively raised and soy and corn free. You can always experiment to see if it makes a difference for you!

At a certain point (now, for example), it no longer feels accurate to surround the latest of the Horological Machines with endless descriptors like those I would have used in the link past (think: quirky, fun-loving, whimsical, child-like, playful, avant-garde, etc). While entirely accurate – and quite likely to be found peppered throughout this very post – those words are link best understood as link synonyms for MB&F. The brand is all of those things, and much more.
He tells them, “I have to call my wife. I have to see her. I need to link see her,” and they manage to get a line out to his wife who is still at her link office. They leave him alone with her on the phone, and once again something cracks inside him. He rips out the tubes, takes out his oxygen, and gets off of the gurney. In the hallway, he finds some scrubs in a hamper and a shirt in a donation bin and puts them on, and walks out of the hospital. He feels the sun on link his face.
Actually, you might link guess. If you show any link watch enthusiast an A. Lange & Söhne watch, they'll ask to see the movement (a practice so common it's known as the "Lange Tax" on some corners of the internet). The caliber L101.2 inside the Honeygold Rattrapante is, link like with any Lange, what sets it apart.
Across both references, there are four known dial types categorized as Mark 1, Mark 1.5, Mark 1.75, and Mark 2. This odd nomenclature happens a lot with vintage Rolex, link I would imagine at some point there were only two link dial variants, and then someone found a slight difference creating Mark 1.5 in the link middle. By the same process, the Mark 1.75 was "discovered" later down the collecting line.
Of course one last significant difference between the Astronomic Blue for Only Watch, and the link Astronomic link Souveraine in steel, is the price; the link Blue hammered for a record CHF 1.8 million, while the Astronomic Souveraine will be priced at CHF 889,000.
