Glassen Farms is crowdfunding to produce the first batch of 250 Glassen Chickens that have been ethically and humanly pasture raised right here in Nanaimo by farmer Ben Glassen in his second year farming. The raise will build a community of supporters, advocates and customer while funding the infrastructure and hard costs to raise chickens for many families in 2019.
