Good to know
We're a small family farm, so we keep it simple. You reserve ahead, we raise your birds outside on fresh grass, and you pick them up fresh here at the farm. Below is what people usually ask before they order. Anything else, email [email protected] and we'll get back to you.
Why Red Rangers?
Most store chicken is a fast-growing breed that's ready in about 6 weeks and barely moves. Red Rangers take 10 to 12 weeks, walk around, and forage for real. The meat is firmer with more flavour, and the broth sets up the way it should.
Do the birds come whole?
Yes, whole, fully cleaned and ready to cook. Roast it, spatchcock it on the barbecue, or cut it up yourself. After you've had the meat, the carcass makes great broth.
Can I pick a size?
Yes. When you order, choose about 4–5 lb, 6–7 lb or 8–9 lb. Every bird grows a little differently, so we match you as close as we can, and you pay for the real weight.
Fresh or frozen?
They're fresh on pickup day. Cook them within a couple of days or freeze them right away. Well wrapped, they keep in the freezer for months.
Where's pickup?
At the farm in Southern Ontario. We send the address and pickup times with your pickup email. Bring a cooler.
Do you deliver?
No, sorry. We're a small farm, and the rules for a small flock like ours mean every bird is sold and picked up here at the farm.
What if I can't make my pickup?
Tell us as soon as you can. We can freeze your birds and hold them here for you. The first week is free, and longer than that is a small weekly fee. Deposits aren't refunded in the last 30 days before processing, but you can move your order to a later batch.
Want birds this year?
Reserve now. You only pay the deposit once we confirm your order.
