Poultry

See Product List

At Harvest Haven, the chickens and turkeys are pampered poultry. They have clean, warm barns in which to sleep and roost, open and shaded yards in which to get fresh air and sunshine, and to top it off, they have fresh greens, such as dandelions, picked for them a few times a day. All the poultry is fed a special organic mix made from grains, greens, minerals, protein, and flax, supplemented with molasses and oyster shell. Grander Living Water units are used to treat the water they drink. Theirs is a low stress, healthy environment. Consequently, the chickens or turkeys need no antibiotics, hormones, or vaccinations.

Care is taken when it is time for them to fulfill their destiny. The birds are handled carefully to keep stress at a minimum, so that delicate flavor and tenderness are maintained. In this way, a quality product is assured.

Both chickens and turkeys are sold as whole birds, or as parts. These tender birds are large enough to be roasting fowl, but young enough to be broilers. Besides the various parts, such as breasts, drumsticks, and thighs, we also have livers and gizzards. For those who enjoy a taste of the Far East, chicken feet are available, and for that all-time favorite, chicken soup, we have mature hens that give added flavor.

Fresh chicken is available in the middle of September only. Frozen chicken is available the rest of the year. Fresh turkeys are ready for the Thanksgiving weekend in October only. After that, only a limited quantity of birds is frozen. For both the chickens and turkeys, orders are taken to ensure receipt of size and quantity. Be sure your order is in sooner, rather than later, especially for the turkeys, as we sell out of them quickly. Every effort is made to supply a tender, flavorful product for pleasing the palate.
