Northern Indiana Amish Country
Amish country includes a blending of tiny, laid-back farm towns with vibrant small cities: Bristol, Middlebury, Nappanee, Shipshewana and Wakarusa. In communities throughout Amish Country, the economy was almost entirely rural and agricultural, based on the immigrants dream of bettering their lot through the ownership of their own farms.

Amish Country Chicken and Duck
Facts - Miller Country Chicken are hatched at Amish hatchery and placed primarily on Amish family farms. The birds are raised inside naturally ventilated, curtain sided, houses and are free to roam on open floors. They are fed an all-vegetable diet and are hormone and antibiotic free. Maple Leaf Farms duck has less fat and more lean meat than ever before. Through the natural habitat breeding and feeding, the duck is considered green and healthy foods without compromising the succulent flavor.
Antibiotic Free -Miller Country Chicken are raised on all vegetable feed that is ground at Amish feed mill from corn and soybeans. No antibiotics are added. Labels can be confusing - with terms like "free-range" on the label it does not mean that it is antibiotic free. There is no requirement that free-range chickens be antibiotic free.
All Vegetable Fed - The feed is a mixture of corn, soybeans, minerals, salt and vitamins that is mixed at Amish feed mill and there is no animal by products, animal fats or coloring added, never.
Are Miller Country Chickens "Free-Range"? - Miller Country chickens are raised primarily by Amish families in smaller flocks. While they are free to roam within the chicken house, they are not "free-range" for several reasons. Free-range chickens are often found outdoors, where they are challenged by weather, disease and the risk of airborne contaminates. Baby chickens need to be warm and dry during the first two weeks of their life and could not survive the elements.. Also older chickens would be under extreme stress in temperatures colder or warmer than ideal with our midwestern weather, which could lead to extreme stress or even cause death. Miller chickens are raised in a stress-free environment where they have access to fresh water and feed with natural light and ventilation and are free to roam within the chicken house on open floors. The chickens are cared for by peace loving Amish families.
