"Free Range", "Organic" or Pastured Chicken? Our small flocks are moved daily in bottomless pens to graze fresh growing pasture. The pens protect chickens from predators, while allowing advantages of exercise, fresh air, sunshine and green forage. Unlike "free range" our pastured birds are never allowed back onto their own droppings, thus naturally breaking parasite cycles without drugs or dangerous chemicals. Some commercial "free range" chickens only "have access" to pasture, but never actually get outside of their crowded housing.The "organic" label, once the pride of a few purists, is now a government & big agri-business, legal word game. USDA even allows old frozen birds to be called "fresh" if they haven't been frozen below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Birds raised in the same old high stress factory houses, but fed politically correct rations, may use the "organic" label (upon payment of the proper fee).By closely mimicking nature, by paying careful attention to the source and quality of our feed and by keeping flocks small, we produce chicken far superior to the government's "organic" moniker in flavor, texture and healthfulness.
See for yourself why our fresh, home grown, old fashioned, pastured chicken is best.

PUTTING HEALTH & TASTE BEFORE PROFIT IN RAISING CHICKENS
(Good chickens, like home grown tomatoes are a seasonal item, so please plan ahead.)
For years we have been thinking about how good chicken used to taste. Curiosity, study and experimentation led to the discovery that it is still possible to raise really good, tasty chicken. By mimicking nature, where birds forage for seeds, insects and green plants, we produce chicken with nothing artificial. Then we process the birds carefully by hand. The result is delicious chicken which tastes like it used to. Like it should!
Neighbors who have grown birds for big agri-business come to us to get birds fit to eat!
It is impossible to buy fresher, tastier chicken anywhere.
You owe it to yourself to taste the difference!
Sorry, We do not ship our chickens our of state,
nor do we return phone calls asking us to do so.
