We’re committed to giving you the tools and support you need to succeed. Our equipment is designed to be simple, durable, and easy to use, so you can spend less time on processing and more time on other priorities.

Featherman products support pastured poultry and direct marketing. With decades of hands-on experience in production and sales, we are passionate about the power of this model to heal America’s agricultural system, regenerate soil, nourish communities, and address chronic health issues stemming from processed foods. Our products empower you to do this critically important work.
