How to Purchase and Order
Welcome! If you have already ordered for this year, please log in.
Chicken and Turkey
We process our chickens and turkeys right here on the farm. On the processing day you will come to our farm between 1:00 and 7:00 p.m. on Thursday or Friday, or 9:00am and 5:00pm on Saturday, to pick up your poultry. You will need a cooler(s) and ice. (They are whole birds.) To buy chicken on non-processing days, call before coming to make sure we'll be here to help you. (ph. 301-874-6181) The birds will be frozen.
A note on sizes:
You are buying your pasture-raised chickens from a small, local, farmer. Please remember that our pasture-raised chickens are not like factory-farmed birds where tens of thousands of birds are raised under very controlled conditions. We raise much smaller batches on pasture and are not able to precisely control the size of our pasture raised chickens for processing on a specific date. There are many variables that are outside of our control in raising chickens on pasture. Weather that is too hot, too cold, too rainy, too dry, etc. all have an effect on the size. In general, the May and November batches tend to be larger on average, and the July, August, and September batches tend to be smaller because of the heat. In each batch of chickens, there are usually, but not always, some that tend to be around 3 lbs. and some that are 5+ lbs. with the majority around 4 to 4 1/2 lbs. The sizes are available on a first come basis. We cannot hold a certain size for you. Please be forgiving if the birds we have for you are a little larger or a little smaller than you anticipated. Cook a few extra vegetables if they are smaller, enjoy the leftovers if they are larger and savor the superior flavor of your pasture-raised chicken.
We accept payment by cash or checks.
