Farm Fresh Chicken: Raised on pasture.

We are offering whole fresh chickens again this year. These are the same birds we raised in 2009 and 2010. This year we are raising only enough birds to fill our orders, there will not be any extras available. Don't miss your chance to fill your freezer for the year!

We are raising only Colored Rangers at this time. They are moderately fast growing meat birds that originate from heritage breeds. We do not raise any of the very large Cornish X birds. Our birds are very healthy and lively. They actively forage and do not suffer from the the health problems that tend to plague other breeds. The tradeoff is that they take a little longer to grow, therefore costing a little more to feed. If you'd like to learn more about Cornish X's and why we don't want to raise them, you might enjoy reading this article.

Our chickens spend their first weeks in a warm brooding area. As soon as they are old enough (around 3-4 weeks) they go out on pasture with lots of room to run and fresh greens and bugs to eat. There is a grain mix available at all times, made with locally grown corn. The chickens have a portable shelter to stay in at night and during inclement weather. Unlike some shelters, ours has a floor to further protect the birds from predators and flooding.
