Pastured poultry

We are raising and selling pastured poultry again this year that is fed organic grains. The pastured part means we move the portable pens to a fresh patch of grass at least once a day, if not more. This gives the birds fresh greens and bugs every day. We butcher on site. This way the birds do not have to be transported before they are slaughtered. The meat is great and you definitely know what went into them and where they came from. Note: due to the recent increase in the cost of organic feed we need to raise the price of the chickens to $4.00 per pound. The chickens usually dress out from 4 to 5 pounds each. Pick-up dates will be:

  • July 8th
  • September 13th
  • October 11th
The birds will not be frozen at the is point, as they need a day to be at fridge temp. before freezing. Please go to the contact tab to let Robin know if you are interested in chickens this year.

CSA

Thank you to all of last years CSA members! This year Nick Tomalsini and Oregrownians, who grew for restaurants and the farmers market from Upper Valley Farms last year, will be taking over the CSA as well. These guys grow amazingly tasty and superiorly nutritious fruits and veggies. Not to mention, the best salad mix this side of the Mississippi. Please go to the Oregrownian web site to let them know if you are interested in being a member this year.

Apples

This year our apples will be in their 2nd year of transitioning to organic. Harvest date is in early October. Please check back later in the season to see about availability of apples.
