PASTURED POULTRY
 We raise Cornish Rock chickens in movable pens. These pens protect the birds from predators, but have open floors so the birds live directly on the pasture where they can freely move about and scratch for bugs. This method of raising chickens is thus called "Pastured Poultry" (as opposed to raising thousands of them together in small cages in windowless buildings). We cannot let the birds "free range" because of the risk of being attacked by predators, but this is the next best thing.
The birds are fed high quality grains, and are never given antibiotics, steroids, or hormones. They don't need them because they are healthy birds living outside in the fresh air.
The difference inthe taste of chicken raised in this way is truly amazing, and once you try it you will not want to eat grocery-store chicken again. We raise small batches of 200 birds, about 4 times throughout the summer. The first birds are usually ready late May/early June, and then the next batch is ready each month afterwards. We usually have a supply of frozen birds on hand in our freezer after the first batch; if you want a fresh bird then please contact us for our processing dates.
