Infoclip: Poultry meat processing

This chicken farm is part of Bioland which is one of the five organic labels in Germany. They slaughter about 600 chickens per week and sell them to local butcheries and organic markets. They also have their own shop and delivery. 30% of their production goes outside their region. This farm is also located near the organic farming university, which explains why many shops and farms are organic in the region. The farmer coming inside the stable to feed the chickens (5 shots)
