Ashley Farms Quality...

Ten Times the Testing Assures Unparalleled Quality

One thing that makes Ashley Farms chickens truly unique is the extensive testing that is involved. From breeder stock to pullet, all during the growth process, through processing and delivery, Ashley Farms Chickens undergo the most intensive, extensive health and quality assurance monitoring to meet the poultry industry's highest health and quality assurance standards. In addition to testing the farm soil, the feed, and the water, the processed Ashley Farms chickens are also tested daily for pesticide residues, toxins, arsenic, antibiotic residues, and a long list of other contaminants. In fact, Ashley Farms chickens are subjected to over ten times the number of tests required by the USDA.

Why is testing of the finished product important? It means that the consumer is not ingesting any substances deemed harmful to human health by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency when eating our chickens. Even methods used in organic farming, which minimize pollution from the air, soil and water, cannot ensure that products are completely free of residues. Also, organic production standards do not require testing of finished products.
