Pastured Cornish Cross Chickens
Cornish Cross chickens are a larger breasted, larger legged breed that is most commonly used in commercial production. They are a large- legged-large- breasted breed with lots of white meat. On pasture, they do well supplementing daily feed ration with fresh grasses and grubs. Chickens are processed on-farm several times each year. Chickens are whole, with skin on and neck attached. They weigh between 3 and 5.5 pounds, on average.
Pastured Freedom Ranger Chickens
Freedom Ranger chickens are a slower growing, more traditional breed of chicken that performs great on pasture. The broilers are excellent foragers and their diverse diet lends them a deep, succulent flavor. These chickens have smaller breasts and a more dark-meat, traditional flavor. For more information on the breed, visit www.jmhatchery.com. Chickens are processed on-farm several times each year. Chickens are whole, with skin on and neck attached. They weigh between 3 and 5.5 pounds, on average.
Pastured Tamworth Pork in Bulk
Our pastured pork is sold by the half and the whole. Whole hogs will yield about 175-200 pounds of meat and halves yield about 75-100 pounds of meat. Before your hog is processed, you get to decide how you would like your hog prepared. Pick-up dates will be determined by the rate of growth of the hogs and we will know for sure by early fall just when the juicy pork will be ready for your table. We sell you the hog before it’s processed but we won’t know your final order total until your pick-up date. Most customers enjoy the great-tasting meat for about $4.75- $5.25 per pound packaged weight.
Pastured Heritage Breed Turkeys
Our slow growing pasture-raised heritage breed turkeys have such incredible flavor you won't believe you're eating turkey! No dry, bland meat here! A diet of wild forage, pasture and non-GMO grain lends a deep, rich taste to the meat. Our turkeys weigh between 8 and 15 pounds and are processed on-farm the week of Thanksgiving.
Please see our pastured poultry order letter to order heritage breed turkeys.

Pastured Heritage Breed Chickens
We're happy to announce a new offering for 2011! After a great experimental season with true heritage breed chickens, we'll be able to offer them for your table in 2011. We'll be raising Plymouth Barred Rock chickens and experimenting with a few other breeds, too. The foraging instinct in these birds is amazing and they supplement their non-GMO feed with a little bit of everything. We've seen them eat all kinds of insects and grubs, seeds, pasture clovers, and pretty much anything else they could find. The meat on heritage breed chickens is rich and has a wonderful depth. It's like nothing you've ever tried before. The heritage chickens are processed on-farm several times each year. Chickens are whole, with skin on and neck attached. They weigh between 3 and 4.5 pounds, on average.
