Stewing hens are now available

We are sold out of broilers for the season.  However, we have a small number of stewing hens available for $10 a bird.  Stewing hens are laying hens that are no longer productive.  These are not available in your local grocery store.  They make the best chicken stock and soups.  We can only make them available once a year when we replenish our flocks.  After these are sold, we will not have any more stewing hens available until Fall of 2009.

We began raising our own chicken two years ago and have not purchased a factory farmed chicken since.  His whole life Mark has been allergic to chicken and turkey.  Years ago, he had allergy testing done and he was highly allergic to poultry.  We decided to try raising our own.  Mark has never had a single allergic reaction to our chicken or turkey.  We haven’t tested our birds to understand what is different, but it just makes sense to us that by raising birds naturally with full access to sunshine, fresh air and grass will produce healthier meat.

e are currently taking pre-orders for whole chickens picked up fresh from the farm(Our license does not allow us to sell cut-up chicken or to hold chickens in the freezer.)  If you are interested, please fill out the order form.  Chickens will be sold on a first-ordered basis and will be available in limited quantities.   (Since the quantity is so limited, an order will be considered placed when we receive the deposit.)

We are a small family farm wanting to raise the very best food we can for our own table and for our friends and neighbors.  We are certified organic and seek in all ways to treat the land and the animals in ways that are respectful, healthy and sustainable.
