Chicken

Your pastured chickens are raised by Luke and Carrie Handy of St. Johnsville. For many years now, they have been raising egg laying hens for their own use and recently began raising meat birds as well. This year they added onto their personal flock in order to provide you with the high quality eggs and meat they enjoy.  Their chickens are kept in the best possible environment to make for happy hens and fantastic tasting eggs and meat. In the spring, summer, and fall the egg laying hens are on pasture, where in addition to regular chicken feed they are able to enjoy a variety of greens, bugs, seeds, and whatever else they are able to scratch up! Not only does this make for fabulous tasting eggs, but eggs from pastured chickens have been shown to be lower in cholesterol and saturated fats and higher in vitamins A and E, beta carotene and omega-3 fatty acids than their "commercially grown" counterparts. In the winter they are housed in the barn, with plenty of room to stretch their legs and roam about. The meat birds, which are antibiotic free, are also raised on pasture, in moveable pens that are relocated to fresh grass and bugs twice a day.The result is great tasting meat!
