There are many benefits to buying locally grown food, and each person makes their choice for different reasons. Locally grown food creates important economic opportunities, provides health benefits and helps to reduce environmental impact. It also helps bring the community together and gives people the opportunity to make a difference.
Additionally, many people feel local food tastes better and lasts longer. They also find peace of mind knowing exactly where their food came from and how it was grown. For others, supporting community economics and building relationships with local food producers is incredibly important, as is protecting the environment.
This year was the first year we tried growing meat birds. Our meat birds are pastured birds, meaning they have access to forage freely outdoors and have access to pasture with all the insects, seeds, plants and worms a chicken could want. This is a natural diet for chickens. This is the best way to raise chickens and produce the healthiest and tastiest eggs and chicken.
we use organic practices which means we do not use antibiotics, hormones or commercially fertilize or spray with pesticides. We use a natural pasture rotation system with our animals and let mother nature do her work.
Our first batch of chickens will be available in early September. We will be selling fresh, whole birds. If you're interested in trying locally raised chicken, pre-order your chickens now for pickup at farmers' markets and our our farm.
