What is Pasturebird?
Pasturebird is a subscription-based meat delivery service specializing in pasture-raised chicken. Their chickens eat a varied diet that includes; grasses, bugs, legumes, and grains. They are never fed any antibiotics, ever!
Pasturebird was founded in 2015 by Paul Greive. Paul became passionate about food, the paleo diet, and sustainable agriculture after a severe bout with Lyme disease.
Paul started Pasturebird with 50 or so chickens in his backyard. It’s since grown into one of the largest (if not the largest) pasture-raised chicken farming operations in the country. The Pasturebird farm is located in Temecula, CA.
Pasturedbird captured some buzz because of their state-of-the-art solar-powered mobile coop. The mobile coop shelters the birds from other predators as it rotates them to fresh grass. I recommend checking out some of Paul’s LinkedIn videos for a closer look.
Pasturebird’s mission is to “reinvent agriculture,” while making nutrient-dense chicken more accessible to everyone.
In 2020, Pasturebird was acquired by Perdue Farms, the country’s 4th largest chicken producer.
Georgia, USA. Our pasture raised chicken lives the majority of their lives on fresh pasture, eating bugs, grains, grass and legumes. They are moved daily to increase the amount of green forage and proteins the birds consume. They are free to explore, scratch and forage. At night, they are moved into coops for shelter from predators.

Pasturebird calls this “a major, much-needed disruption in animal agriculture” that “has completely changed how chickens can – and should – be raised”.
Pasturebird introduces solar-powered robot chicken coop
American poultry producer Pasturebird has invented a solar-powered robot chicken coop on wheels, which it says fosters regenerative farming while allowing the animals to “live their best life”.
Pasturebird‘s Automated Range Coop (ARC) is a large, floorless barn that each day rolls itself a short distance to allow the chickens within to graze on fresh pasture.
The company said it developed the design with assistance from NASA rocket scientists and investment from Perdue Farms, one of the USA’s biggest agriculture businesses, which purchased Pasturebird in 2019.
Pasturebird uses pasture raising – a form of farming that is usually considered a step up from free-range, as the animals have continual access to the outdoors while improving soil health as their mobile coops move over the land.
However, these coops are usually moved manually. According to Pasturebird, most farms have 80-bird coops and it takes about 15 minutes per coop to feed and move them.
By contrast, Pasturebird’s 700-square-metre robot coop contains 6,000 chickens that it moves to fresh pasture in five minutes, at the push of a button.
