Busy With Chickens!We've got a lot going on with poultry these days! We move groups of chickens and turkeys to fresh grass each morning, topping off their food and water and saying hi to the friendly guardian dogs. Throughout the entire summer every other week, we bring a new batch of chicks or turkey poults into the brooder, to begin their life here on the farm. And every week, we process a batch of fresh chicken to keep the freezer stocked with whole broilers and all our favorite chicken cuts.If you ask us what Summer means, we'll say "chickens!"Processing DayOn average, our crew processes between 300 and 400 chickens per week.We believe in treating every animal with respect from the moment we receive them through harvesting day. We know this isn't something that most people want to think about, but there are many questions that are left open that many don't know what that process looks like and how to form a question to better understand.So for those wanting to learn more, we highly recommend watching Green Farm Life, Episode 5. It's a very educational episode (video) we recorded to help shed light for our farm friends to be more informed of the process.Watch "Green Farm Life"Turkeys on PastureWe raise several batches of turkey throughout the growing season to have delicious, nutrition packed turkey meat for your Thanksgiving Dinner! In order to do this, it's important to have fresh green grass and bugs in their diet, so this means raising them throughout the Summer Time.During this past month the turkeys were big enough to move onto open grass from their movable shelter designed to keep them safe while they were little.They walked happily across the field and into their new paddock with a little direction from the crew.Learn More about how we raise our Turkeys - HEREHOW TO COOK A CHICKENHave you ever felt intimidated by cooking a whole broiler chicken?
