Our pasture raised whole chickens average between 5-8lbs.
They are flash frozen to ensure premium freshness and flavour as they make their way to your freezer and dinner table.
Whole Halal Chicken - Each chicken is individually blessed and processed by hand to the highest standards while facing east towards Mecca in accordance with Islamic tradition. People can be fully confident that all Meeting Place Organic Farm Halal chickens are processed in full accordance with traditional halal standards.
Pasture raised whole chickens are perfect for Sunday dinner, a family get together or for cooking and making batch meals for your busy life. Raised here on the farm in Lucknow, Ontario they spend the first weeks of their lives under warm heat lamps in a brooder and once they have feathers we move them outside where they grow on pasture where they can scratch in the grass and eat all the bugs they desire. They have access to certified organic feed and fresh water.
How it works:
We raise three batches of chickens each year. Due to our harsh Canadian winters, chickens can only be raised outside, on pasture, as weather permits. We raise chickens under the Ontario Artisanal Chicken Program.
Our June chicken will be available the week of June 24th, 2024.
Our August chicken will be available the week of August 1st, 2024.
Our September chicken will be available the week of September 9th, 2024.
