Three batches a year
We raise three small batches between spring and fall, about 100 birds each, and each one has a single pickup day. Exact dates are set once our processor confirms them. We'll email you your pickup day as soon as it's booked, and again two weeks before.

Which batch is right for you?
- Batch 1 · early summer
- The first chicken of the season, just in time for barbecue weather.
- Batch 2 · late summer
- High summer. Good for the cottage, camping, or a big family dinner.
- Batch 3 · early fall
- Good timing for fall dinners. The one to fill the freezer for winter.

How pickup day works
- Two weeks before, we email you the day, a pickup time and the farm address.
- Your birds are processed at a licensed abattoir and come back to the farm fresh and fully cleaned.
- Every bird is weighed, so you see exactly what you're paying for. Pay the balance by e-Transfer or cash.
- Bring a cooler. Fresh birds keep a couple of days in the fridge, or months in the freezer.
- Can't make it? We freeze your birds and hold them here. The first week is free.
Why small batches?
Each batch is about 100 birds. Keeping batches small means every bird gets fresh grass every day and the full 10 to 12 weeks it needs to grow.
When a batch is full, it's full. Reservations for 2028 open after the last pickup, and this year's customers hear about it first.
