What Is "Seasonal Winter" Chicken?

So let’s think about seasonal chicken… As we all know to raise
pastured chicken there is a seasonal time frame that we can consider
our chicken to be truly pastured and that is May through October...
But with our supply
running low plus we had seen it coming, getting creative on how we
could continue to provide high quality chicken without disrupting a
supply to our faithful customers was a high priority. We do have increased costs this year but for the “seasonal winter chicken” we decided to keep prices the same for now… :)
We had considered just being out of chicken for a few months but with our faithful customers in mind, we wanted to offer something very similar.
So we are going to
very transparent about what we have decided to offer as a solution.
And to be very clear, we will be offering our normal pastured chicken
in May or June!
Plus we hope to produce enough this year that we can offer pastured all the way into the 2025 season.
So here’s how it
works: These chickens are the same breed (Cornish Cross), are fed the same feed
which is soy free, corn free, chemical free, GMO free, and no junk
whatsoever! The only difference is they get lots of certified organic
hay along with their diet of feed. And plenty of fresh water as well!
They live in spacious barns that allow more room per bird than standard chicken barns would offer with 12” deep bedding consisting of sawdust and hay with plenty of light to keep it as natural as possible.
In comparison to
beef, we do feed a lot of stored grasses in the wintertime in place
of the grass which can have the same effects in terms of flavor and
consistency. That being said, there is truly nothing like REAL pastured meat in season but we do feel we have something similar to offer for a solution at this time!
