Chicken

At Kirsop Farm, we raise 10,000 meat chickens every year. That’s quite a few more than the tiny flock we started in 2007 to feed our family.

Even though there are more chickens around, we still baby them and give them the very best so every one of your chicken dinners is as flavorful as it can be.

We raise them on pasture, where they forage for insects and grass. We supplement their foraging with chicken feed we mix on site.

Our movable shelters protect the chickens from the predators and the vegetables from the chickens. We move them every day so we can rotate fertilizer on the land and  make sure our chickens are always in a clean location.

We process the birds on our farm, using low-stress methods learned from our friends Nate and Melissa at Oyster Bay Farm.

Where can I get some?

Freshly frozen certified organic pasture-raised whole chickens and chicken parts are available year-round at our farmers’ market stands. Stop by to check out our chicken and ask about prices.

Some of our whole chicken, parts, broth and stock are available at the Olympia Food Co-op and Central co-op in Seattle.

Guess what? We also have bone broth and chicken stock!

Both are 100% certified organic and made only with ingredients grown on our farm in Rochester. (We do use a tiny amount of organic apple cider vinegar. But it’s pretty much farm-grown, all the way).
