About Greener Pastures Chicken

Greener Pastures Chicken operates at 296 Blisard Rd., Unit A, in Elgin, Bastrop County, Texas, under USDA FSIS establishment number P1978. The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing activities, a small size class, and a grant of inspection date on file of May 15, 2025. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 4.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, meaning the establishment is not listed as processing animals owned by other parties for return to the owner.

The company's website describes a vertically oriented brand rather than a service processor. It presents itself as one of the nation's first Regenerative Organic Certified poultry operations, co-founded by Von Miller, a Texas-born NFL player who majored in poultry science at Texas A&M University, together with local farmers. Birds are described as spending their first three weeks in a brooder before moving to pasture for the remainder of their lives, moved to a fresh section of pasture daily, and fed a certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified diet that can include soy, corn, sorghum, sunflower, alfalfa, vitamins, and trace minerals. The site states the birds are never raised with antibiotics or hormones.

Sales are handled through an online store hosted on Shopify, with individual cuts and multi-item bundles. A store locator page exists on the site but lists no locations in the fetched text. Retail counter hours, tour access, and any processing services for outside producers are not stated in the sources on file.
