Pasture-Raised Whole Chicken 2023

Description

Our Rainbow Ranger meat chickens are pasture-raised in fresh open air mobile coops. They’re moved at least twice daily to fresh pasture where they forage for grasses, bugs, worms, and grubs.

They are also fed local non-GMO grains, spent grains from our local brewery, and milk from our grass-fed Jersey cows.

They are a well-balanced breed with excellent white-to-dark meat ratio (though because they are raised outdoors and can move and exercise to their heart’s content, there is significantly less white meat than commercially available chickens). Their meat is succulent, nutrient-dense, filling, moist, tender, and incredibly flavorful with lovely marbling and grass-based fat.

Our chickens are processed right here on the farm throughout the summer and fall. If by chance you’d like to watch the process, you’re certainly welcome. And if you’d like to really up your self-sufficiency and wholesome food education, come join our Hands-On Chicken Processing Workshop! Find more details on our next workshop here.
