Chicken Vs Chicken... is Hollywood influencing your decisions?

The bigger the breasts the BETTER the chicken... RIGHT?? or Maybe there is more to the story

As we wind down the Canadian summer season, chickens are going into the freezer. Have you gotten your chicken for the winter? If you want chicken that's raised on pasture it doesn't take a genius to figure out you probably can't get them in winter, or even until June or July next year. It takes a few months to raise them and the temperatures really only permit baby chickens to thrive when its reasonably warm (unless your using some serious heating and insulating and ventilation technology, which in my experience not too many small scale farmers have access to, or the capitol to justify).

Another reason to get your chicken while you can - In Ontario small scale chicken farmer's that don't choose to pay high priced quota fees for the right to produce chicken are only permitted to raised 300. Now depending on how much chicken your family eats, you can see that this does not supply too many families.

MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR CHICKEN FOR WINTER... even if it means investing in a freezer, you'll be grateful in January for pasture raised organic nutrient dense chicken!

Vibrant Farms has its last round of Heritage Breed chickens for sale. If you aren't sure why you'd want heritage over hybrid, or maybe you didn't even know you were eating hybrid (what most stores and butcher shops sell) Then you'll want to check out this article!

which one are you eating?
Do you know the benefits and pitfalls of each one?

As I always say, it really doesn't matter to me what you choose to eat. I just hope that everyone can actually make a choice. A choice requires knowing both sides of the story...

So make sure you check out the article for more info...
