Pre-Order Pasture-Raised Roaster Chicken — Rhode Island Red
Pre-Order Pasture-Raised Roaster Chicken — Rhode Island Red
Pre-Order Your Pasture-Raised Roaster Chicken
Some things are worth the wait — and our Rhode Island Red roasters are proof. These birds spend 20 full weeks on open pasture at our small family homestead in St. Johns, Arizona, developing the kind of rich, deep flavor that a grocery store bird simply cannot match. Slow-roasted, braised, or spatchcocked for Sunday dinner — this is the chicken your grandmother remembers.

Why $5.00/lb?
Roasters take nearly twice as long to raise as fryers — that's 20 weeks of feed, care, and pasture time. The extra investment shows in every bite: more developed muscle, richer fat, and a flavor complexity that makes this bird a true centerpiece meal. Compare that to a store-bought rotisserie chicken ($8–$10 for a factory-raised bird pumped with added solutions) — there is simply no comparison.

📜 Small Farm Transparency Notice
This chicken is raised and processed on our small family farm. We operate under the USDA Producer/Grower Exemption (9 CFR Part 381), which permits small-scale farms that raise their own poultry to process on-site and sell direct to consumers without federal inspection, provided they process fewer than 20,000 birds per year. We are well within that threshold. You are buying directly from the farmer — we stand behind every bird we raise.
