Small Whole Heirloom Chicken (2-2.99)
1 Whole Heirloom Chicken
A unique heirloom eating experience. We were asked to raise some European broiler genetics by an international poultry company this summer. These are a brown feathered, slow-growing European meat bird that produces a different meat birds that makes an eating experience of years ago. This is the "spring chicken" of decades ago - less meat, more flavor. When FDR talked about a bird in every pot, this is what he meant. Not as tough as 100 years ago though, these birds are fantastic for soups & stews. The meat holds up well to long simmering. The longer growing time means a richer, more developed flavor & a little higher cost to make up all the extra days tending & moving these birds on pasture.
