Pastured Chicken Available and a Quick Update

Greetings!

Well, it was an unbelievably busy Spring here at the Bullard residence! The craziness of daily life on top of chickens, chickens, and yes, more chickens. Brooding and raising 125 meat birds at a time for us, is well, a lot of very unglamorous work. In the end, seeing our home-grown, all-natural meat is completely worth it!

We are now, nearly finished building our brooder barn (many delays compliments of our local building department)...but the new addition should make things go a bit better on the next round. Some of our more recent summer highlights have included firefly hunting and softball games in the field, but hatching chicks from the laying flock, and watching our first run of meat birds grow up happy and healthy have been our farming  focus.

We will be processing our first run of “meaties” next week. Our chickens are amazingly flavorful, tender, juicy and delicious! They are all-natural and free of antibiotic, hormone, and pesticides. They are pastured, meaning they are raised in a field, fenced for their protection, but are able to range and forage for natural foods, such as grasses, seeds, and tasty little bugs, in addition to the fresh water and an all-grain ration that we supply.

Our chicken is out of this world on the grill, roasted whole or BBQ sections or breasts. They are also just as amazing roasted in the oven, but who wants to cook inside this time of year?

Next week we'll post our favorite grilling recipes for whole chicken!

  
If you would like to order some of our delicious chicken, please send us an e-mail at 5bullards@gmail.com.
