Niche market prompts mega-farming project

Pitman Family Farms is building 70 barns in California to increase production of its Mary’s Free-Range Chickens.

It aims to increase its broiler production four-fold at four different sites.

One farm expects to increase production capacity from 120,000 to 1.02 million birds per crop.

Three other sites will increase production by about 30 per cent.
