Order Form - 2008
Welcome! If you have already ordered for this year, please log in.
Please select which processing days you'd like to pick up chicken and turkey and indicate the quantity. We will send you a reminder before the processing date, and if the date you picked does not suit, you can always change it up to 24 hours in advance.
A note on sizes:
You are buying your pasture-raised chickens from a small, local, farmer. Please remember that our pasture-raised chickens are not like factory-farmed birds where tens of thousands of birds are raised under very controlled conditions. We raise much smaller batches on pasture and are not able to precisely control the size of our pasture raised chickens for processing on a specific date. There are many variables that are outside of our control in raising chickens on pasture. Weather that is too hot, too cold, too rainy, too dry, etc. all have an effect on the size. In general, the May and November batches tend to be larger on average, and the July, August, and September batches tend to be smaller because of the heat. In each batch of chickens, there are usually, but not always, some that tend to be around 3 lbs. and some that are 5+ lbs. with the majority around 4 to 41/2 lbs. The sizes are available on a first come basis. We cannot hold a certain size for you. Please be forgiving if the birds we have for you are a little larger or a little smaller than you anticipated. Cook a few extra vegetables if they are smaller, enjoy the leftovers if they are larger and savor the superior flavor of your pasture-raised chicken.
We hate raising prices. We believe healthy food is needed by all, and should not be an artisan food that only the wealthy can afford. However, our organic feed has been going up very rapidly in the last several months. The price of $3.79/LB for the chickens is for the May batch only! We will let you know a month before each processing date what the price will be for that processing date. Here is what is happening: our feed prices have gone up 55% from a year ago. Since December, every two weeks when we pick up feed the price goes up. No one knows what is going to happen with feed prices in the coming months, although the feed mill this week told us that they think that it may be reaching the peak. However, they told us the same thing in December just before prices started jumping.
We accept payment by cash or checks.
