Paramagnetic Towers, Reclaiming Ancient Wisdom

What happened to Force of Nature's original chicken program—and why did we take it off the shelves? In this episode of Where Hope Grows, Taylor, Robby, and Katie break down the bold decision to pause our poultry program and the cross-country journey that followed. The result? A re-invented, radically improved, and welfare-focused solution we call A Better Bird. You'll hear what makes our new chicken different: Slow-growing, heritage breeds (never Cornish Cross) 100% organic feed—no synthetic chemicals, fillers, or byproducts Unrestricted access to pasture, clean environments, and silvopasture systems Third-party animal welfare certified and zero use of antibiotics or mRNA vaccines Why does it matter? Because conventional chicken isn't what it seems—fast-grown, nutrient-poor, and raised in confinement. Force of Nature's new program is built to nourish you, respect the animal, and heal the land. If you're going to eat chicken, eat the best chicken possible. Available now at Whole Foods Market, Sprouts and online at forceofnature.com/chicken
