Abaco Big Bird Poultry Farm

What Abaco Big Bird Poultry Farm does

Abaco Big Bird Poultry Farm Ltd. is a privately held, 100% Bahamian-owned family poultry producer and processor founded in 1995 and headquartered in Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas. The company raises day-old chicks to market weight in five climate-controlled, cage-free poultry barns and processes and packages the birds on-site, enabling a farm-to-customer cycle of approximately 24 hours. Its product portfolio includes whole chickens, roasters, breast and leg quarters, boneless breast, tenders, wings, nine-piece cuts, and custom specialty cuts, all individually vacuum-packed in 5lb zippered bags. The company has also diversified into seasonal agricultural produce, selling persian limes and five varieties of avocados between October and March.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and wholesale, generating revenue through sales of fresh chicken and seasonal produce. On Abaco, distribution runs through the company-owned Abaco Big Bird Farm Store and all major food stores; in Nassau, two independent distributors — ASA H. Pritchard and Pauline North — handle retail reach. The company employs approximately 40 people (20 full-time staff plus a 20-person processing crew), down from a prior peak of more than 50. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figures are available.

Its core differentiator is an all-natural production process: no antibiotics, hormones, steroids, or preservatives; a proprietary corn-and-soy feed formulated with a Florida family-owned feed company; neem-infused water drawn from Abaco's natural aquifer; and significantly lower sodium content (45mg per serving) compared to imported pumped chicken (362mg). The company received the Commonwealth of the Bahamas Silver Jubilee Award for Outstanding National Development in recognition of its agricultural contributions.
