Don’t have a lot of land?
Looking to begin your farming career?
Pastured poultry might be a great place to start…
Pastured poultry gives you the ability to raise a high-value crop on a very small land base in just 9 weeks.
While it’s a starter and primary farm enterprise – it isn’t for everyone.
Farmer Darby Simpson has raised pastured poultry commercially over 12 years as a business, a business that produces over 1800 birds a year and generates over $45,000 in revenue annually on just a few acres.
Over that time he has identified what works and what hasn’t.
In this video Darby shares some of his experience on how can use Pastured Poultry to Kickstart Your Farm.

Who is Darby Simpson?
Living on his family’s seventh generation farm Darby began his own farming enterprise in 2007 after reading “Pastured Poultry Profits” by Joel Salatin. Over the past 10 years, he’s grown the operation that he started with less than $1000 to one that produces 3000 broilers, 125 turkeys, 60 hogs, and 12 beef per year. The farm now financially supports Darby and his wife Brandy, along with their two young boys, Ethan and Zach.
Darby has transitioned himself from a successful mechanical engineer into a full-time farmer and enjoys the many benefits that come with being self-sufficient in one’s livelihood. His success shows it is possible to build a business from scratch with little or no knowledge of what Joel Salatin affectionately calls “lunatic farming”.
Darby is also co-host of the Grassfed Life Podcast.
