APPPA Grit Magazine

At 28 pages, our bi-monthly publication, the APPPA Grit is growing from a newsletter into a magazine. Every other month, we produce, publish, and mail our members-only magazine that's filled with original pastured-poultry articles. The subject areas are diverse and cover topics from the brooder to the plate for all poultry raised on pasture (broilers, hens, turkeys, ducks, etc).

Each issue combines a mix of practical how-tos, research, opinions, profiles, and topics that help you develop a long-term knowledge base. This our keystone offering and it's available with all membership levels.

Online Discussion with Producers

Producer Plus members will receive an invitation to participate in the APPPAPlus Yahoo Group, which is exclusive to APPPA's producer plus members.

If you want to talk with other producers who are raising poultry on pasture for profit, this is the on-going support resource for you.
