"In everything give thanks..."

Our turkeys are healthy and growing well, preparing to grace your Thanksgiving table, as you look back at the Lord's goodness this past year.

This is a good bunch of birds-- so healthy and robust. When I do chores every morning, I see that they have literally grown overnight! They are bigger every day and enjoying greens and grasshoppers (as well as our self-prepared, locally sourced organic grain mix), as they happily roam the pasture.

Get your orders in before they sell out!

$75 per bird, plus separate processing fee.

They will be processed and delivered to you in CB fresh (never frozen) two days before Thanksgiving. This makes all the difference in juiciness and flavor.

Please, private message for orders and more details.

We are doing pasture raised broilers a bit earlier this year. I mix up “porridge” every day for the birdies, which includes—

Organic mash blend (with non-GMO corn and soy, alfalfa meal, fish meal, minerals),
Soaked/fermented/sprouted non-soy and corn grain (wheat, millet, sorghum, oats, peas),
Cultured milk.

We are trying our best to keep cost low for customers, but had to raise this year due to increased feed and chick costs.

$12 per bird to us.
$2.65 per bird for processing to Duncan’s Poultry.

Butchering date is set for Tuesday, May 16.

Please, PM for orders.

Taking orders for fresh turkeys, processed and delivered two days before Thanksgiving!

Here is what is on their menu (the turkeys')--

Organic locally sourced and mixed feed
Fermented and sprouted corn and soy free grains
Clabbered (cultured) milk
Fish meal
Yucca root
Fresh grasshoppers
Grass and weeds
Fresh air and sunshine!

Because these birds are never frozen and delivered freshly after processing, they are the most flavorful and juicy turkey you will ever enjoy. You will be truly thankful for the love and care they received!

(Honestly, I never liked turkey until we had a fresh one. Now it is my favorite thing. Leftover sandwiches are the best!)

These pasture raised birds will average 16 pounds each.

$7 separate processing fee.

Making chicken stock is easy as 1, 2, 3--

1 onion
2 carrots
3 celery stalks

Toss big chunks of those into a stainless steel stock pot, along with a whole pasture raised chicken, two feet, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Cover with water.

Let set for one hour (while the ACV does its work in extracting nutrients).

Bring to boil and simmer one hour.

Remove chicken and de-bone when cool enough.

Return bones to pot and simmer the rest of a day or two. Add a bunch of parsley the last twenty minutes.

Strain into jars.

I always have some on hand to use when cooking rice, for example. Whenever a recipe calls for water, I replace it with stock. Why? Stock is provides more nutrients, helps digestion and increases protein utilization, among other reasons.

BTW the bones CAN be given to dogs, if prepared properly. I always pressure cook them for half an hour to make sure they are very soft.

Do you need some pasture raised chickens? Ours will be ready June 20.

(Private message to place an order. They must be prepaid per Iowa law for custom processing. $11 per bird and separate processing fee $2.50 each.)
