Our Chickens
Our chickens are fed a special feed blend from a local mill that is free of antibiotics and animal by-products. Our chickens are protected in our barns during cold weather and are able to freely roam outside on our free range farm to enjoy their surroundings when the weather is suitable.
1. FREE-RANGE, LOW-STRESS
Each chicken is able to roam on our local free-range farm. When the weather is too cold, the barn is available to them. Ethically raised in a low-stress environment with no overcrowding.
2. CLEAN DIET
What your food eats has impact on you. Our birds receive a special feed blend free of antibiotics and animal by-products.
3. HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCT
A higher quality diet and access to the outdoors means healthier birds and nutrient-rich meat, making our chicken an excellent part of a healthy meal.
4. SUSTAINABLY RAISED
We’re committed to using the utmost care in raising our chickens to exacting standards and sustainable farming practices. Each bird is inspected by the Manitoba Agriculture Inspection Agency to ensure it is fully fit for consumers.
How to Buy
We sell whole free-range chickens (no separate parts) to retail outlets, restaurants and the general public. Our birds are processed and fresh weekly for delivery and pickup. Frozen chickens are available anytime during the week at our local farm – they typically weigh between 5-8lbs and cost $3.85/lb for chickens picked up off the farm and $4.00/lb for chickens delivered in Winnipeg and Steinbach.
Currently, delivery is available within the cities of Winnipeg and Steinbach with orders of 10 or more chickens. Pickup can also be arranged directly from our farm.
