Pasture-Raised Heirloom Chicken Shares (Deposit Only)
True Farm-to-Table Beyond Organic Pasture-Raised Omega-3 Chicken
Description:
Our chickens are truly pastured! They are always outside on grass, with fresh air, sunshine, and plenty room to roam, foraging for insects, vegetation, and seeds. They are fed a local feed that has not been genetically modified comprised of corn, peas, barley, wheat, flax, vitamins and minerals raised by farmers who don’t spray their crops with anything, making it better than organic. The locally-grown organic feed — made exclusively from crops grown on a nearby Mennonite farm in Montezuma Georgia.
Our organic/non-GMO pasture-raised whole chicken share comes in 10 chickens with an average weight of 4.50 pound per bird. We raise two chicken breeds: Cornish Cross and Kosher King broilers.
- Cornish Cross Broilers: Standard Main Commercial Breed: soft meat great for grilling.
- Kosher King Broilers: KA as royalty of meat production: has a number of benefits over standard broilers. Have some of the most delicious and flavorful meat. Great for soups, stews, and grilling.
The chickens will be whole, packaged in a shrink-bag container ready for freezing, unless other arrangements are made. We can cut the birds to order for a small fee. We plan to have various sizes available. See below for whole bird pricing.
