APPPA stepping up for pastured egg producers

Why Consistent “Pasture Raised” Standards Matter for Eggs

The American Pastured Poultry Producers Association has submitted a joint petition to the FDA and the USDA FSISurging alignment of egg labeling requirements for the “pasture raised” claim with the definition already used for meat and poultry.

USDA FSIS maintains a clear, enforceable standard for “pasture raised.” Because shell eggs fall under FDA jurisdiction, that same definition does not currently apply to eggs allowing identical claims to be used for very different production systems.

This effort is NOT about creating new regulations. It’s about applying an existing, well-understood standard consistently, so that labeling means the same thing across product categories.

Clear standards support transparency, fair markets, and long-term confidence in pasture-based production. APPPA will continue to engage regulators and stakeholders to protect the integrity of pasture-raised claims.

Help Protect the Integrity of “Pasture Raised”

To be successful, APPPA needs your help!

The APPPA Board is asking members to:
-Share these petitions on your farm’s social media or e-newsletters
-Submit public comments on both petitions
-Encourage customers to submit brief comments describing what they expect when purchasing pasture-raised eggs

Public comments matter!

These economies of scale boggle the mind. Whole chicken for $15 retail means what wholesale price?
What production cost would you like to cut the most?

A common *gripe* with Regenerative Farmers is we need consumers to spend more of their income on food. While this may be true, it can also be a cop-out. If we want to truly move the needle and LEAVE IT BETTER for the next generation, we need to work tirelessly to meet consumers in the middle on pric...

With Tim Eyes The Food Farm: Central Coast Produce Wyong Creek NSW Australia

01/31/2026

At the (APPPA) American Pastured Poultry Producers Association conference this week, the conversations aren’t about trends — they’re about tradition, stewardship, and doing the work the right way.

And right in the middle of it is David Schafer — the Featherman himself — doing what he’s always done best: listening to farmers, swapping stories, and learning shoulder-to-shoulder with the people who live this life every day.

This is where Featherman belongs. Not behind a desk. Not behind a logo. But in the room. On the floor. In the conversations that shape how poultry is raised and processed across the country.

We don’t just build equipment for this community.
We show up for it.

Safe travels, David. Thanks for representing the heart of Featherman where it matters most.

⚠️ Heads up! ⚠️

Our shop will be closed for the month of December so our team can recharge, perform maintenance, and gear up for next season.

That means there are only 6 weeks left to place your orders before the pause. Whether you’re finalizing a grant application, budgeting for year-end, or simply planning ahead, now’s the time to act.

Ordering early not only ensures your equipment ships before December — it also helps you lock in current pricing before potential increases in the new year.

✅ Place orders by November 30 to avoid delays.

Featherman Equipment — built to last, backed by integrity.
