Label Vert Chicken Feet (~900g)

Pastured. Sustainable. Non-GMO Feed.  Frozen.

Our chickens are raised on pasture, free to roam during the day and roost in the evenings. In addition to foraging for grubs and insects, we feed our birds 100% non-GMO, non-medicated feed.

More about these chickens:

Artisanal: Kendal Hills Farm is the only licensed farm raising this chicken.

Age:  Label Vert chickens are 5-7 months old.  With age comes flavour, fat and texture.  The 'standard' chicken is just 6-8 weeks.

Feed: Raised on a diet of what they forage on pasture and non-genetically modified grains.

Medications:  We use no medications.  No anitbiotics (though FYI, all chicken in Canada is raised without antibiotics)

Environment: At 3-4 weeks, when they have their adult feathers, they move out of the brooder building and on to a grassy pasture.  In Ontario, to call something free-range you would be allowed 54,500 birds per acre (give or take a thousand...but at that point, who is counting?). In Europe it's 400 birds per acre and in Australia it's 600. We were working with some existing pastures, and so ours are 650.

Slaughter: We hand-catch every bird and bring them to a provincially inspected, family-owned and operated small processor in Omemee.
