One half chicken (breast, wing, thigh, and drumstick)—delicious fried, roasted, broasted, braised, poached, grilled, broiled, or sautéed. Feeds 1-3 people and comes frozen. Half chickens are priced at $6.75 per pound. *If your delivery order contains meat and you won't be home to receive it, please leave out a cooler.* We will deliver Thursday evening, between 5:00-8:30 p.m. Piccalilli Farm and Hidden Hill Farms raise their chicken on fresh pasture. This technique is not only great for the chickens, but it also helps increase the fertility and organic matter of the soil through the controlled spreading of the chickens' highly enriching manure as they move around the field. Piccalilli Farm's chickens are Freedom Rangers and Hidden HIll's are Cornish Crosses. Utilizing whole and half chickens is one of the most sustainable and ethical ways to utilize the animal. Learning how to piece a whole chicken can be simple and rewarding, as well as a way to connect to our roots. Generations before us relied on the skill. Here's a quick video simplifying the process of piecing out a chicken, or you can read more detail about the process from our friend and ethical meat advocate, Meredith Leigh. A former vegan, Meredith wrote The Ethical Meat Handbook, a wonderful read.
