Farm chickens taste so much better but cook differently...
-
They Don't Shrink
YOU'LL BE AMAZED. You won't be pouring off a cup of water and wondering where all your meat disappeared to.

Juicy Juicy
Farm raised chicken is plump and juicy. Which means it doesn't dry out when you cook it. Even if you do forget the chicken in the oven, you'll still have juicy meat for your plate.

Long and Slow
Since our chickens are fully grown, you will find you get the best result when cooking them long and slow. The meat is dense, filling, and nutritious, so totally worth a bit of extra cooking time.
Roast Chicken isn't just for Fancy Dinner
A roast chicken is a go-to item around here. It does for a sit down supper meal and makes enough leftovers to make the kids' lunches all week. The skin and bones go into the stock pot for a slow simmer all day Monday, the bones are pulled out once its cook and there's a meaty soup stock for a meal or the freezer. The convenience and cost savings is massive for our household.
Evergreen Alley Farms
We are working hard to make the transition into a regenerative style of management. We know that we can raise meats that are not only tasting better, but also higher in nutrition, and give back to our soils and lands, allowing them to heal and regrow at the same time.
We know if we can build a sustainable farm, we can provide a sustainable food source for you.

What are the animals fed?
The livestock at Evergreen Alley are fed a combination of feeds depending on the stage of growth. Chickens are fed special feed for chicks and electrolytes until they are 3 weeks old, then they move outdoors and feed a grain and supplement mix.
Are your chickens on pasture?
We would LOVE to be able to have the chickens on pasture, and this is something that we will try to develop in the future.
There are a couple factors we need to figure out for pastured chickens.
- Our pastures are currently too far from home to easily monitor water systems in the very hot summer days and to move the chicken tractors easily.
- Our guardian dogs are accustomed the the home yard, the nearest pasture would be across the highway and we are concerned if the dogs tried to come home there would be a very sad accident.
- Our chickens live in large runs in the evergreen shelterbelts of the main yard. They have done a great job of cleaning up the undergrowth and knocking down some wild hedging. We have quite a bit more shelterbelt then could tackle while in the shade of the large trees.
Are the chickens medicated?
The baby chicks are all given electrolytes when they arrive from the hatchery to ensure they drink as much as possible. Other than that they are not medicated. Any chicken that is sick or injured is removed from the group into a brooder box to rest and recover.
What kind of chickens are they?
We use a Cornish Cross Giant. It is a breed developed for rapid growth and large muscles. We don't feed the commercial feed so we do give them time to grow a bit slower so they develop enough bones and leg strength to carry their heavy bodies around.
What is your return policy?
We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. Unfortunately due to the perishable nature meat and eggs we are unable to offer a refund. We try our best to package everything in a way that ensures a safe arrival. If for some reason you are not satisfied, please reach out to us.
