Good morning!

The pastured chicken harvest season of 2024 is finally here.

Soy & Corn-FREE chicken parts & whole birds in stock! :)

All limits have been removed... stock up as much as you want!

If we do sell out of whole birds it will only be briefly between our weekly harvesting throughout this summer and fall pasture season.

In case you forget, we move our chickens to new grass morning and evening on our certified organic pastures.

This daily moving is extremely important since it allows our birds to forage a balanced diet of bugs, grubs, flies and a complete salad bar of grasses along with the clean grains we grow ourselves.

With so much forage in the diet, this meat is 3-4 times higher in Omega-3s and CLAs compared to CAFO chicken. Even industrial organic chicken in the grocery stores does not offer this level of nutrients since the birds only have minimal access to a "grass" strip along the edge of a large, stationary barn.

Our Chicken is always Humanely Raised, Truly Pastured, Chemical-Free, GMO-free, Soy-Free and Corn-Free so your family can eat the clean, nutrient-dense foods you deserve.

And to top it all off, our family and team hand-butchers our birds on our farm in our zero-waste, mobile butchering wagon. Even the feathers are composted and their nutrients returned to the farm soil.

And since we are the butchers, we never allow Chlorine or any other chemicals anywhere near your chickens! Nothing but a touch of organic apple cider vinegar, Celtic Sea Salt, and ice are used in the chill water.

P.S. Grocery store Industrial Organic foods aren't truly pastured. And sadly, too many small pastured farms allow chemicals in the animal feed.

Your family deserves chemical-free AND truly pastured foods so you can eat every meal with confidence.

That's why our farm is dedicated to only high integrity foods... that taste amazing.

Thanks for choosing to support our farm!

Ground Breaking News at Family Cow farm!

After 3 long years of planning, today we literally have ground breaking news to share with you all! :) The temporary 'reefer trailers' we've been using as our Family Cow facilities since 2008 will finally be replaced by an actual building! We are thankful for how well our 'reefers' served us for the last 17 years, but it's past time for this improvement!

Behind the Scenes Video of Order Packing

Good morning friends, Today I have a quick video to show you Behind the Scenes Order Packing at The Family Cow farm! The morning work starts at 5:00 so it's often still dark this time of year... but that doesn't keep everyone from arriving promptly to get your food on the way. Watch now to see how we prepare food each week to go from our family farm to the 54 Pickup Locations across PA so you can get real, clean foods delivered to your community. It's our pleasure to do it for you! :) This footage was shot earlier this year, but I thought now would be a good time to show you what a busy packing morning looks like during the holiday season! We've been scrambling (literally) to get all the orders out the door some mornings... Hopefully before long we can do an expansion project and give us more workspace here at the farm so the packing area isn't so crowded! :) All the best of food and blessings. Your farmer, Wesley

Family Picture Night 2024

It's been two years since our last pasture picture, as our family calls them. Since then, our family has grown by five, so I believe it's high time! But first, just a little nostalgia...
