Pastured organic soy free whole chicken
Pastured organic soy free whole chicken
2021 chickens are sold out.
2022 chickens are available per request. If you're interested, let me know. It is uncertain at this time what the feed cost will be and therefore the final cost. I will be raising chickens for us, of course, and can raise some more if you're interested in pastured, organic, soy free chicken.
Our chickens come from local Michigan hatchery. We get Freedom Rangers as they are a happy middle between old fashioned chickens that take 6 months to grow out and commercial chickens that take 6 weeks to grow out. I was looking for something in between for my family and we've been very happy with Freedom Rangers.
The birds spend 12 weeks outside, traveling through our property. You can see where they have been by bright green grass that comes in shortly after they leave. I move their little coop and fencing every day or so. We start off with every other day when they are little and progress to every day and even twice a day as they get big. I'm trying to balance giving them a happy life exploring and managing the pasture responsibly. So far this system has been working great for us!
Of course, chickens need more food than just what they find on the pasture, specially meat chickens. I found this really awesome food for them from New Country Organics. Not only it’s organic and soy free, but they follow Weston Price principles too. Win all around!
We also find the meat to be absolutely delicious! It is tasty and easy to roast. Roasted whole chicken is our favorite and it always comes out tender, even if the chicken is close to 6 pounds.
Whole chickens only at this time. They come out between 4.5 and 5.5 pounds.
Cost per pound is $6 (2021 price).
Your deposit is $10 per chicken or send me an email.
