Pasture Chickens

1999 PASTURE CHICKEN PRE-ORDER FORM 

"Healthy Chicken Raised The Old Fashioned Way"
 We have been raising pasture chickens here on our
farm since 1997.  The chickens are raised outdoors
on our pasture from the time they emerge from the
brooders until the day they are processed. We
use no medication or unnatural additives in our
locally milled grain.  More information about
our growing program is available upon request.
Finished chickens range in size from 3-lbs up to
5 lbs or more.  The current price is $2.25
per pound dressed weight including giblets.

Chickens are processed on premises every week on
Thursday for pick-up on Friday. The season begins
before Memorial Day and extends through the end
of October. All chickens are sold dressed (cleaned
and ready to cook)

Although demand for our pasture raised chicken has
been increasing steadily, the quantity we raise is
limited by the methods we use to insure the highest
standards of quality.  We choose not to sacrifice
the high quality to increase quantity.  Your
pre-orders will insure that chicken is reserved
for you.  If demand exceeds the supply of chickens
for any reason member orders will be given priority.
Indicate the quantity of chickens you wish
in the spaces below.

Did you order enough for your freezer?
MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE ABOVE PICK-UP DATES.
If you must change or cancel your order for
any reason please give us plenty of advance notice
so we can plan accordingly. We call every customer
who has reserved chicken to confirm their orders
before each scheduled pick up day.  We urge you
to mark your calendar now.  Extra order forms
are always available at the farm.

  To ensure maximum freshness all chickens should
be picked up on Friday. We cannot hold fresh chicken
more than one day for you.  Any chicken order not
picked up by Saturday may be sold to a walk-up
customer or put in our freezer.  
  Many of our customers find it helpful to bring a
cooler or other waterproof container to carry their
chicken home as packaging can leak.  Ice is available
at the farm if you are traveling a great distance.
    We welcome you to taste the best and healthiest
    chicken money can buy!
