Kevin Doll and his son Nick prepare to move the Portable Pasture Poultry Pens

 

We raise Cornish x Rocks and White Mountain for our broiler chickens.  They have a broad breast and large thighs. This bird is the backbone of the modern broiler industry. 

But we don't raise our broiler chickens as they do in large CAFOs ("concentrated animal feeding operations")! No, no, no! 

We purchase chicks from a reputable breeder. They arrive at our doorstep at one day old.  After a time in the brooder, they are moved outside to our Portable Pasture Poultry Pens. 

These pens are moved across our fields. Each day the chickens enjoy a new fresh patch of grass, alfalfa, oats, etc with its compliment of insects. We supplement their diet with our all natural grain feed. 

Being outside offers a healthy environment of fresh air and sunshine and the pens offer security against predators.

I can't tell you how popular these birds are! People are always telling us, they won't eat store-bought chicken any more!

 

Our 2011 price for a Broiler Chicken is $3.55/lb.

They come dressed and packaged whole by a licensed processor, vacuum wrapped, suitable for freezing.

Giblets are not included. Liver, Gizzards, Heart can all be purchased separately at a price of $5.50/lb.

Chicken Feet are $.10 each. Chicken Necks are $.20 each.

Our broilers generally range 3.5 lbs to 5.5 lbs.  If you have a preference on size, we’ll do our best to accommodate.

You Didn't Place an Order?

Shame on you! But check with us at the Farmers Markets. We reserve birds for Market sales. You may be able to get one there.

We've had great success with these birds.

That's no exaggeration!

Absolutely everyone raves about them.

The family enjoyed the chicken immensely. "Bryan K"
Thank you so much for the roasting chickens. I cooked it last night and it turned out wonderfully juicy. Let me know if you have more or when the next batch is ready. "Esther C"
We had delicious chicken livers last night for dinner. They were wonderful! "Cindy L".

I made one of your birds for a roast chicken Sunday dinner last weekend and it was fabulous.  Next I'm going to roast the bones and make soup. Mmmm.  "Kim B"
