Chickens are just about gone folks but good news is that baby chicks arrive next week. So in 11-12 weeks you can have fresh chicken.
Order your chicken now. We are keeping small batches and doing them as a pre-order.
Also, a word to those that want quality food at a decent price. Hint: local farmers who are in their first few years of business are likely going to give you a good deal. It's not economical to have a sales and marketing department so word of mouth is what you hope for. Our goal is to break-even this year or at least come really close to break-even.
For those in the Chicago area (as you've all been asking), I'll be coming to visit family at Easter, so if you do want to make a purchase, we've got the means to transport meat and keep it frozen. (dry ice is so cool....)
So although it's not exactly 'local' produce-- it will be traveling in a van that is already going to be on the road so no more extra emissions for the trip.

My husband and I have pre-ordered some birds from you and I can't wait to taste them.
We do have a question - when you process your birds, do you do this alone or do you use volunteers also? My husband and I would be interested in helping you process them if you would like volunteers. You'd have to give us some quick lessons, however. It's been a long time since either of us has done the "deed", so to speak.
Are you going to process every few months? We're trying to plan out the chickens we need. Also can we pickup some frozen and some fresh?

We're in Chicago!! We want some of everything. :)
It would be nice to see you and your chickens.
Let me talk to Heather and figure out what we want.
See new posting for some answers. But the short answer, yes we love help processing, and yes we'll process every few months.
Alina-- we are not the only pastured poultry farmers in America--- go to localharvest.org and find a local farm to buy them from. I guarantee they are out there. If you need me to check their credentials I'll do that. Mike will soon be on the board of APPPA (american pastured poultry producers association) so he can check out and ask about any local farm you find.
kevin and heather-- we'd love ya to see it... lots of photo opportunities!
