Creating Access to Excellent Food
through heritage breeding
It started on 800 acres of farmland in beautiful Northwest Arkansas, when we joined forces with third-generation
poultry farmer Blake Evans and began growing our unique heritage chickens.
We engaged with regional crop farmers to grow feed using regenerative farming practices. We renovated our chicken
farm, hatchery, and processing plant to pave the way to a reimagined meat industry.
We built relationships with cattle ranchers, pork farmers, and fishermen across the country. We partner with
values-driven businesses looking to build soil fertility, sequester carbon, and create biodiversity.
It’s good for the land, and it results in deeply flavored meat.

Introducing the Pioneer Breed
Cooks Venture's breed, the Pioneer, is selectively bred from heritage line chickens, growing slower than conventional birds, resulting in a robust chicken with better gut health. The birds' strong frames allow them to thrive on pasture. This is the culmination of over 12 years of research with heritage lines, to breed a better, healthier chicken while prioritizing health and flavor.

You Have the Right to Know What's in Your Meat
Despite the pastoral images and marketing claims, almost all meat today comes from mainstream operations that
are labeled with greenwashed buzzwords.
Finding food that is good for both us and the planet doesn’t have to be this hard.
At Cooks Venture, we’re building an alternative to America’s meat industry, to deliver great food from
independent, regional farms.
Our core values include a commitment to true transparency, and prioritizing the health of the land and the
well being of our workers.
