Contact us 		Since 2011, Fox Creek Farm has been using chickens to help in our crop rotation, maintaining and improving our soil fertility. After 3 weeks in the brooder, the chickens go out on pasture. We move the birds daily to fresh ground - and as a result, the chickens get about 30% of their diet from grass and bugs. We supplement this diet with unmedicated, conventional feed that we get from a local feed mill.

Raising birds on pasture results in exquisite poultry. Luc Pasquire, French Certified Master Chef and the former executive chef at Jack's Oyster House tried one of our chickens, and he says that he found the chicken to 'Taste great, [have an] amazing smell with fragrances of rosemary garlic and lemon and [a] texture [that] is wonderful with a crispy skin'.

The exercise and varied diet results in a broiler that cannot be found in the supermarket - a bird worth eating. We run a limited number of batches per season.  

With the good experiences during our pilot year, we are now offering a Pastured Poultry Share, which also can be an ad-on to our regular CSA membership. Please see our membership forms for details and pricing information.
