PERDUE® HARVESTLAND® chickens are raised cage free and fed an all-vegetarian diet. We never give our chickens antibiotics, hormones or steroids because we believe in a better chicken.

Where are your products raised and processed? All of our chickens are always on raised on farms in the USA and harvested, processed and packaged in the USA.

The company's now-famous slogan, “It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken®,” helped make PERDUE® a household name.

Perdue, who died in 2005, was responsible not only for killing billions of chickens but for developing many of the notoriously cruel techniques now used throughout the chicken industry. Over the years, PETA has marched with Perdue's striking workers and protested his company's abuse of billions of chickens.

The PERDUE® brand is the number-one brand of fresh chicken in the U.S., with a rapidly growing lineup of no-antibiotics-ever products under the PERDUE®, PERDUE® SIMPLY SMART® Organics® and PERDUE® HARVESTLAND® brands, and USDA certified organic chicken under the PERDUE® HARVESTLAND® Organic brand.

The company is lauded for its best practices in humane chicken farming. From egg to pullet to the chicken we buy from Perdue, the company can now tell you exactly how that chicken was raised humanely. In this process, Perdue has become the largest supplier of organic chicken in the entire US.

A holding company, FPP Family Investments, Inc., owned by the Perdue family, became the controlling entity for Perdue Farms. The holding company also owns Perdue AgriBusiness, a grain operation; FPP Business Services, a shared business services company; and Coleman Natural Foods.

If you dream of becoming an eagle, you follow your dreams and not the words of a bunch of chickens. Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

Another way of saying this proverb is: “Don't count your chickens until they are hatched.” So, this proverb means you should not depend on something that has yet to happen. It is unwise to make plans based on something that hasn't happened.

Perdue believes that when chicken is properly raised, there's nothing better. That's why we use all veggie feed, our farmers raise free-range chickens and more organic chickens than anyone else in the U.S. to make our chicken taste extraordinary.

The USDA verifies that all our chickens are fed clean ingredients, which means a 100% vegetarian diet with no animal by-products that are commonly used in commercial feeds, and are cared for in a clean, safe environment.
