The flavor is amazing, plus you get the satisfaction of knowing your meat was raised in an ethical and super-healthy way.

It’s not someone everyone can afford, definitely, but we don’t lack for customers ;)

Surprised about the cold baths though...cooling chicken super fast with really cold air is better for the meat. But probably too expensive or too...(something) for a small farm!

Apparently, that's the "dry-plucking" method that was used a lot of small farms back in the day. I'll bet the smell was a little better that way... Yes!

They did it the hard way- nestle the flapping, hysterical hen firmly between the body and upper arm, slit the throat and drain every drop of blood while holding the hen. Hand pluck all the feathers. And NO BLEACH, IODINE OR COLD BATHS! All this done by my petite 104 lb. ah-mah. Brings back the smells and visuals of Chinese New Year prep in grandma’s backyard.
