Fresh chicken in stock this week! 😍🍗

Everyone’s favorite, FRESH chicken, is in stock at the store this week, Thursday - Saturday! 🐔🍗 For those coming in earlier, we will still have frozen chicken available on Wednesday.

Straight from our butcher and never frozen, it really doesn’t get fresher than this. Because of its popularity, it’s known to go fast, so place a pre-order online to guarantee yours.

This is also a great opportunity to consider saving your chicken carcasses and/or bones to make homemade bone broth for the cooler days ahead! Store it in your freezer, and you’ll thank yourself later. 🙂 You can find a bone broth recipe on our website.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
