Dan Sweet

Saturday · 9:45 am–11:00 am

A core component of Blackbird Farms is developing a scaled approach to regenerative poultry production which restores the land, humanizes our workforce and customers, and is profitable. This session will focus on 2026 broiler and layer scaling including brooder management, feed operations, pasture and paddock management, infrastructure development, and overall production performance. Accomplishments and setbacks will be presented. The session will conclude with an overview of 2027 planned expansion and beyond.
