    Why We Choose Slower-Growing Birds
    Slower-growing broilers:

    Live healthier lives
    Move more naturally on pasture
    Develop better flavor
    Align with our small-batch, ethical farming values
    They cost more to raise—but reflect how we believe food should be grown.

  • Note: We can not offer custom part selection for subscriptions to ensure fair access and minimize waste.

  • CSA (Community Supported Agriculture):
    A farm membership where you get regular food and help support ethical, local farming—paid in advance so the farm can plan and produce responsibly.

    Why Prepay for a CSA Share?
    Prepaying isn’t about locking you in—it’s about how small farms work best.

    When members commit in advance, it allows us to plan responsibly and care for our animals and land the right way.

    What prepaying supports
    -Better animal care
    Feed, housing, and pasture improvements are planned ahead—not rushed or cut short.
    -More consistent food for you
    We raise and harvest based on real numbers, not guesses.
    -Less waste, more intention
    We grow what’s needed, when it’s needed.
    -A stable, local food system
    Your support keeps small farming viable without shortcuts.

    What it means for you
    -Priority access to farm products
    Predictable pickups and clear expectations
    -A direct relationship with the people raising your food
    Confidence in how your food is produced—not just where it comes from

    Shared understanding
    Farming involves seasons, weather, and animals—not factories. Prepaying reflects a shared commitment to flexibility, transparency, and mutual respect.

    We believe food should be raised with care, offered honestly, and shared responsibly. Prepaying makes that possible.

  • Because we raise chickens humanely and intentionally, availability may be limited at times. We appreciate customers who value quality over speed and are willing to grow with us.
