Meet the Hens: How We Raise Pasture-Raised Chickens in PR
Punto Pío raises pasture-raised hens in Villa Nevarez, in the San Juan metro. The birds go out on rotational pasture, are fed from a local mill, and are cared for without antibiotics or vaccines, using natural remedies. That is the short version of what stands behind every tray we deliver 3 to 5 days from lay.
Here is a closer look at how the flock lives and why it shows up in the egg.
What does pasture-raised mean at Punto Pío?
It means the hens spend their days outside on living pasture, foraging grass, insects, and soil, with feed from a local mill on top of that. Pasture is not a garnish here. It is where the birds actually live and move, which is the whole point of the label.
Why rotational pasture?
Moving the hens to fresh ground on a rotation keeps the pasture from being stripped bare, spreads manure so it fertilizes rather than piles up, and gives the birds clean forage. It is more work than leaving a flock in one spot, and it is the difference between "pasture-raised" as a practice and as a sticker.
How are the hens cared for?
The flock is raised without antibiotics or vaccines, with natural remedies and a low-stress environment. Day to day that means clean water, shade and shelter from the sun and rain, protection outdoors, nest boxes, and hens collected and eggs gathered by hand. Yari Atkinson leads flock wellbeing; Armando runs operations and deliveries.
How does this reach your kitchen?
Eggs are gathered, packed, and delivered across the San Juan metro within days of being laid, 3 to 5 days from lay. A varied pasture diet is what many people connect with deeper yolk color and fuller flavor, though feed and season matter too. The freshness is the part you can count on every time.
