Grace Note Farm chickens are legendary for superb flavor and for making excellent, rich stock. Our chickens are raised outdoors on pasture so that they get plenty of fresh air and sunshine, which makes for tasty and healthy chickens. Being outdoors also allows them to eat a healthy balanced diet of fresh greens and bugs, supplemented by certified organic grain grown right next door in New York State. These roasting chickens typically weigh somewhere in the 4 – 5 lb range.
If you’d like to experience the amazing taste of humanely raised, organically fed New England chickens, place your order for chickens for a specific date below. By buying at the beginning of the season, you provide us with needed cashflow to cover the expenses of feeding and housing chickens over the summer. By reserving your chicken for pickup within 2 days of harvest day, you’ll be able to take home a fresh, never-frozen bird for your table. Birds that are saved for later delivery will be frozen.
How much do they cost?
We only sell whole chickens, and encourage customers to use every bit of the bird. The total cost of each chicken is based on weight. Chickens picked up on farm are $5.95/lb. Chickens picked up at the Busa Farmstand in Lexington are $6.25/lb for the first 3 chickens, and $5.95/lb for additional chickens bought on the same date. Your deposit of $10 per bird will reserve chickens for you for a particular date.
Where do I pick it up?
You can come to Grace Note Farm and pick up a fresh, unfrozen bird on the dates below, or call ahead and come out to the farm any other time to pick up your frozen chickens. Or, you can pick up your frozen chickens at the Busa Farmstand in Lexington, MA on August 13, or September 10.
