Pasture Raised
Roasting Chickens
![]() We offer fresh young, five to eight pound chickens, from July to November. At our farm, we don't "Free Range" our poultry, we "Day Range" our poultry.... In the book Day Range Poultry author Andy Lee describes the difference: "The term "day range" means the animal range or graze during the day within protective electric fencing, and are secured at night in shelters safe from predators and inclement weather. It is necessary to find a term other than "free range" anyway, because the mega-growers have usurped the term to mean little more than thousands of chickens being able to roam "freely" inside a chicken factory." These birds are provided with the type of life chickens prefer; pasture and quality natural grain, clean water, fresh air and sunshine. We raise these birds in a way that promotes their good health, and in turn our own. Pasture raised poultry has been shown to have less fat, fewer calories, more omega-e fatty acids, more beta-carotene and a lower risk of e-coli. And, we never-ever use synthetic hormones or antibiotics on any of our poultry products. But, perhaps the thing people tell us the most about our chicken is that it tastes delicious. Whole Chicken with giblets @ $3.50 per pound
