Made with a Back Forty Acres Stewing Hen

Mmmmm!

Many poultry varieties are considered dual purpose birds. What does this mean?

When a laying hen no longer produces what she was designed to do, it’s time to replace her.  We see no reason to waste this opportunity. 

When you think of chicken and dumplings or a pot of chicken soup, what do you picture?  Well, we see a hen that has had time to grow into a very nice sized bird and has developed great tasting meat. 

Slow cooked in a crock-pot, these hens make an absolutely wonderful meal.  The meat falls right off the bone and the juice makes an extremely flavorful broth for soups or other dishes. 

If you use bouillon cubes to make broth, throw them away! Buy Back Forty Acres Stewing Hens!

Our 2011 price for Stewing Chickens is $2.65/lb.

They come cleaned and packaged whole by a licensed processor, wrapped in a strong plastic bag, suitable for freezing.

You can freeze or can them; they store quite well.
