Pasture-Raised Chicken from Eastern Ontario
Our chickens live outdoors on 80 acres in Glen Robertson, moved to fresh grass every morning. Certified organic feed. No antibiotics. Reserved by the household and picked up at the farm gate.
2026 sold out. The 2027 waitlist is open.
What Chicken Tastes Like When It Lives Outside
Most chicken is pale and watery. It needs seasoning to taste like anything, because the bird never moved and never saw the sun.
A bird that forages tastes different. The fat runs golden instead of white. The meat is firmer and it holds its juice. You can roast it with salt and nothing else.
How We Raise Them
Every morning the shelters move to clean grass. The birds spread across the fresh ground and work it over: insects, seeds, green forage, whatever they turn up.
They get certified organic feed, shade under the shelter roof, and as much daylight as the season gives them. No antibiotics. No lighting tricks to force weight on.
They grow at the speed a chicken grows, which is slower than the industry accepts and exactly as long as it takes.
- Moved daily
- Certified organic feed

Our Farm in Glen Robertson, Eastern Ontario
Eighty acres of rolling pasture in Glen Robertson, between Ottawa and Montreal.
2026 Is Sold Out. 2027 Is Open.
Our first season sold out to founding members who reserved before we had a single bird on grass. 2027 has three harvests: June, August and October.
Reserve with a deposit, pick up at the farm gate in Glen Robertson and pay the balance by actual weight. A typical bird dresses out between four and six pounds, so ten birds usually lands between $300 and $500.
Common Questions
We order chicks and feed in March, months before you pick anything up. Once your reservation is in, that money is spent on your birds specifically. A refundable deposit would mean asking you to trust us less and asking us to gamble more.
Our chickens are priced by the pound. A typical bird weighs 4-6 lbs dressed. With a 10-bird minimum, expect a total between $300-$500. Your $100 deposit is credited toward this balance.
Yes, and we would rather you did. Everything on this page is easier to believe once you have stood in the paddock. Send us a message and we will find a time during the season.
Contact us to arrange an alternate time. If we don't hear from you within 7 days, your birds will be donated to a local food bank and your deposit forfeited.
We follow organic principles but are not certified. Our birds eat certified organic feed, forage on pasture daily, and receive no antibiotics. Certification is expensive, we'd rather keep your food affordable.
The fat is golden instead of white, because the birds eat green things. The meat is firmer, because they walk. It holds its juice better in the pan. And it tastes like chicken without any help, which is not true of most chicken you can buy.
Whole, fresh and bagged. The head is left on, which surprises some people the first time. We are happy to talk you through cooking your first one.
