Revolutionizing Farming For a Healthier Planet and Better Animal Welfare We redefine the role of livestock in the food ecosystem. Our chickens contribute to a better environment and prevent food waste by turning surpluses of agriculture and food processing into nutritious eggs and meat, as well as valuable fertilizers. The carefully controlled upcycled feed contains, for example, leftovers from sources such as large bakeries, and pasta factories. In close collaboration with scientists and animal welfare organizations, the Kipster Farm was designed for the chicken's needs. Chickens are forest birds, and the farm is set up for them to carry out our natural behaviors as much as possible. Outdoor gardens and indoor gardens with perches, haybales, peck stones, daylight and dustbathing spaces allow for the hens to express their natural behavior.
