pastured
Grazing in meadows
Pastured describes livestock raised on pasture—open land where animals graze on grass rather than being confined and fed grain.
The term appears most often in food marketing: pastured eggs, pastured chicken, pastured pork.
It signals a farming method considered more humane and natural than industrial alternatives.
