Care and Treatment
Up close. New wilcox triticale field just sprouting. Another sustainable example of wilcox farms growing their own chicken ration.
Wilcox Farms does have birds in cages. These are reversed cages that allows chickens to see down the aisles and allows all to eat at the same time. Our company is committed to converting our current houses to cagefree or organic production; Since 2005 we have invested 3.5 million dollars in cage free and organic house conversions and have planned another 2 million for retrofits to be started in 2010 and 2011. Wilcox Farms has pledged to no longer make investments in cage production and is committed to the standards of both Humane Farm Animal Care and Food Alliance.
Wilcox Family Farms has a commitment to sustainable farming to preserve the beauty and quality of the land today and into the future. We have partnerships with the Nisqually Tribe, Salmon Safe and the Nisqually River Counsel, and we have made great strides in our Organic and Free-range eggs.
