Thanks again to all who made the processing of our first batch a success. We pastured the chickens on a shorter schedule than we did last year and found the weight to average between 3 and 4 pounds. We'd like to offer a better selection to our customers by delaying the processing dates and allowing the chickens to grow slightly larger. For those looking for 3 pound birds, we anticipate they will still be available. For those seeking larger birds, we hope to have those as well. The prices will remain the same.
That said, please review the schedule changes listed below. They are listed in chronological order.
Ordering the 4th batch - You still have till Friday, July 23 to place a final order. We have very limited space left so hurry. Remember that for each bird ordered, a $5 non-refundable deposit is required. You can let us know by responding to this email or leaving a message on our Facebook Page or our Blog (see below for details).
Processing the 2nd batch - The new processing date will be August 7th. That's a Saturday. As we get closer to that date, I'll send out reminders and maps to those who are involved.
Processing the 3rd batch - The new processing date will be September 11th. This probably works better anyway. The original date was for Labor Day weekend and we didn't realize that. Again, I'll send maps and reminders.
Processing the 4th batch - The new processing date will be September 25th. I know we're deep into fall at this point (and back to school) but we trust the selection will be more well rounded by waiting. And yes, I'll send maps and reminders.
Thanks for your patience on the date changes. We strive for the best quality and selection available to us. We've all become accustomed to walking into a store and pulling chicken off the shelf, but we often don't see the process that gets the chicken to market. Raising livestock is not an exact science but it's a whole lot of fun. Come on out on the Processing days and we'll show you around. We'd love to see you there!
