Why pastured chicken?

Pasturing chickens is a sustainable way of raising meat on pasture, as opposed to indoor confinement. Humane treatment and the health benefits of pastured meat goes far beyond your typical grocery store chicken. Our chickens get lots of sunshine, fresh air, native forage, bugs & insects, soil, roots, & a supplemental feed to provide the necessary vitamins and minerals that they need to thrive. Our 100% pasture raised chickens are sustainably, humanely and responsibly raised on our pastures. Our flocks are never given any hormones or antibiotics, and they live on grassy forage areas that are free of pesticide, insecticide, and chemicals where they can hunt, peck, scratch, and eat weeds, flowers, bugs, grubs, and anything else out there that piques their interest. They do that freely within protected chicken tractors to keep them stress-free from predators. Moved daily.

Our poultry never leave the farm until processing day. They have the opportunity to live and thrive in one place their whole life, resulting in a greater quality of life, which translates to a healthier bird, resulting in a meat quality that is soft, tender, flavorful & a nutrient dense super food.

Some of the benefits of eating pastured chicken are…

• Higher concentrations of vitamins D and E (great antioxidants)

• Other vitamins, like vitamin A and beta-carotene, iron, and these micro nutrients make for a higher gelatin-rich broth, therefore, increased value of ordering the whole bird (healthy and rich organs, heads, feet & fat available on the side)

• Flavorful, juicy meat (super tender) ok... my mouth is watering!

• More good fats (OMEGA-3’s)

Pastured Chicken Prices

Our pastured chicken comes as a whole bird, we do not separate at this time. We charge by the pound. The birds are anywhere from 4-5 lbs. We shoot for a 4.5 lb. finished bird. Currently we charge $8/lb. A deposit is required of $150/chicken bundle. A chicken bundle is 12+ birds. A deposit is required to initiate your order. Delivery will be sometime in June of each year. Processing of the chickens is NOT included in the chicken price. The customer is responsible for processing fees and that is $1/lb.

Most customers are buying 12-24 birds to fill their freezer.

A Few Cooking Tips

Pastured meat flavors are naturally enhanced when you cook them LOW and SLOW. Pastured birds are a bit leaner, so when cooking them, keep that in mind and they are likely to need less cooking time. When preparing them, indirect heat is optimal. You can delight in the natural flavor of the meat in many different ways, including: braising, grilling, pan searing, smoking, pressure pot or baking. My favorite way of preparing my chicken is in the pressure cooker! So delicious! Our poultry is finger licking good and customers say that you cannot beat the flavor or our birds…Enjoy!
