Review of Southern Sunny Acres by TexasRealFood

Southern Sunny Acres, which is located in Winona, Texas, is a farm serving the East Texas community producing ethically-raised pastured poultry. You can pay for a Poultry Box subscription. If you want, just buy what you need - chicken breast, thigh, drumstick, feet, leg quarters, heart or liver, chicken broth, or a whole bird. The animals raised here are fed with non-GMO, soy-free feed. The animals are allowed to graze on fresh pasture. The farmers believe that this is the key to producing more nutrient-dense meat. The farm uses sustainable, holistic management practices centered on the natural management of poultry. This farm is owned by a veteran family.

Farming Methods, Practices & Certifications

Grass Fed / Pastured Grass Fed / Pastured

Grass Fed / Pastured

The term “grass fed” (as opposed to grain fed) refers to meat obtained from cows that were raised on a diet of grass and other forage, such as clover; situated in pasture and, when fresh grass is unavailable, hay. This helps to denote the difference between livestock that has been raised in feedlots and generally fed a diet of soy and corn, versus animals that have had access to their natural feeding environment in pasture, which contains grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. This term overlaps with “pasture-raised” and will usually be seen together. Grass-fed beef is also believed to taste better, and be better for the environment, too. There are several organizations that offer a certification for Grass Fed, such as the American Grassfed Association, Certified Grassfed by A Greener World, and Pasture for Life, to name a few.

Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming. Some of its key focuses are topsoil regeneration, increased biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystems, supporting biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and improving the health and vitality of farm soil. Practices involved with regenerative farming include recycling as much farm waste as possible and adding composting materials from sources outside of the farm.

The Livestock Conservancy

The Livestock Conservancy was set up to protect endangered livestock and poultry breeds from extinction. Many of America’s once-common farm animals are currently facing extinction. Rare breeds represent an irreplaceable piece of the earth’s biodiversity and offer incredible variety that may be needed for future farms - robust health, mothering instincts, foraging, and the ability to thrive in a changing climate. These farm animals are a vital part of ensuring food security for our planet.
