Peachy's Pantry: Greyledge Farm Chicken is Just As Outstanding as Their Beef and Pork! We Love Greyledge Farm-there is no need to ever go to the grocery store again when you can have their Superior Quality Delivered!
We see no need to ever visit the meat or poultry section of our local grocer anymore, unless we want to sacrifice quality. Manhattan has some of the nicest grocers in the world, but they do not compare to what you will get from Greyledge Farm. Now that we have tried all three of their main products, we can say across the board they are simply the best.
In regards to the poultry, Greyledge Farm raises Cornish Cross chickens and turkeys from day-old chicks. After being raised inside for three weeks until they are big enough, the birds are moved outdoors to the farm fields. Their only “pens” are large movable coops that protect them from predators in the evening. These coops are regularly wheeled to new sections of the pasture to provide access to fresh grass and a clean, natural environment. This rotational grazing is a much healthier and more humane approach that is far more labor intensive than most poultry farms; however, it defines best farm practice and allows them to provide clients with true “free-range” chicken, as distinct from the much less rigorous standards that are used to define free range.
The healthy, walking birds are slow-grown and allowed to feed in the pastures for nine to ten weeks. Their diet is supplemented by the proprietary feed made from locally grown corn, soybeans and other natural grains, with no animal by-products. Free of antibiotics and steroids, the birds produce juicy, tender meat that is full of flavor without much dark meat. The poultry also has less cholesterol and more Omega-3, making it healthier and more nutritious. We do not feel bad for these chickens one bit; it sounds like they have lived the life at Greyledge Farm Spa for Chickens perhaps? Maybe some of us should escape Manhattan and relax in the pastures of Connecticut...and if not, it can show up on our plate!
Greyledge Farm chickens and turkeys are processed in a state-inspected processing plant, packaged in clear Cryovac packages and offered to clients fresh or frozen, as supply permits. Greyledge Farm Connecticut-grown poultry is prepared for clients in several ways:
- Whole
- Halves
- Split Breasts
- Whole Chicken or Turkey, cut in pieces
We highly recommend Greyledge Farm chicken!
