Chickens are offered butchered in several different ways. Below you will find details of the On Farm Slaughter and Butcher. Whole chickens are $5.00/lb. Chickens that are parted up and vacuum sealed are $5.50/lb. Chickens will be ready in July 2026. Closer to the butcher date we will send out an email with the exact date of butcher so that we can arrange pickup or delivery, but we won't set the butcher date months in advance because we do want to make sure the chickens are as close to your preferred size as we can so we need to be able to adjust the butcher date as the birds grow.
DETAILS OF ON FARM SLAUGHTER
We are proud to offer locally raised and processed poultry directly from our farm. Please note that on-farm slaughter and processing are performed under an on-farm slaughter license, which allows us to provide you with fresh and natural products right where they are raised.
On-farm slaughter offers a unique and hands-on approach to meat processing, providing farmers with direct control over the process. While it comes with its own set of challenges, understanding these can help enhance practices and ensure safety.
Purchasing uninspected meat in Alberta is illegal, however through the on-farm slaughter license program you are able to pre purchase a live animal directly from the farm and we are able to provide you with the service of slaughtering and butchering that animal. Though the process of slaughter and butcher under an on farm slaughter license is uninspected, there are rules and regulations that must be followed and we are committed to maintaining high standards to provide you with safe, high quality poultry.
Under the on-farm slaughter license the meat that you take home is for your household consumption only. We are not able to sell animals and butcher them for someone that is a reseller. An example of this would be a restaurant or grocery store.
Through the dedication and commitment to best practices, on-farm processors can provide high-quality, safe products, enriching the farm-to-table experience.
By purchasing our poultry, you acknowledge awareness of these considerations and accept these conditions. We are committed to ensuring the best possible practices for your satisfaction and safety. If you have any questions or concerns, or would like more information regarding our practices or the rules surrounding an on-farm slaughter license please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
