Beiler Farm LLC is owned by Arlin Beiler and is located in Ronks, Pennsylvania. The chickens on this farm are cage-free.
A cage-free egg farmer specializes in Cage-Free husbandry, a model that bridges the gap between traditional efficiency and modern welfare standards. Cage-free hens thrive in a protected, climate-controlled environment where they are free to move at will. This system offers the best of both worlds: the safety and biosecurity of an indoor facility combined with the space required for hens to stretch their wings and engage in natural behaviors. It also promotes the hens engaging in natural behaviors such as perching, dust-bathing, and laying their eggs in designated nest boxes. A cage-free egg farmer’s dedication to these cage-free standards ensures a reliable supply of wholesome eggs produced with a high level of care and respect for the flock.
Inside a Cage-Free Farm
In these systems, farmers focus on indoor “enrichments” to maintain bird welfare and egg quality.
Freedom of Movement: Hens are free to roam throughout the barn.
Nesting & Perching: Farmers provide private, darkened nest boxes for egg-laying and raised perches that satisfy the birds’ natural instinct to roost at night.
Litter Areas: The floor is typically covered in wood shavings or straw, allowing the hens to scratch and forage, which helps reduce stress.
