Aloha,
Punachicks Farm is happy to announce that we will be raising organic pastured broiler chickens for the Big Island community. We are trying to fulfill a need that we saw for more local, healthy alternatives to factory farmed supermarket chicken. Our first batches of whole dressed broilers will be available for pick up at our farm in Keaau on August 24 & August 31. We plan on having them available on a consistent basis (twice a month) after that.
Our chickens are raised in small groups in portable pens that are moved daily to fresh pasture, so that they can enjoy green grass, bugs, fresh air, and sunshine. We believe this is a much better model than that used on confinement "factory farms", including "big organic" brands available in the supermarket. We also grow azolla (high protein water fern) in ponds to feed the chickens. Our chickens are raised and slaughted respectfully, which produces a very high quality product. One taste and you'll be hooked!
Please visit our website www.punachicksfarm.com to use our online order form, or email punachicksfarm@yahoo.com
We are reaching out to everyone to build up our customer base, so please tell your family and friends who you think would appreciate good quality food.
Mahalo!
(Thank you Peter Epperson for mentioning us in a previous post!)
