It’s a beautiful day to stop in at Franktown General to pickup some of our chicken. They have breast, thighs and half birds available.

Have a great weekend

Let’s talk about mold for a second.

It’s not exactly something you want to see when you leave bread sitting around for several days… or is it? Let’s call it an accidental science project on my kitchen counter!

Nowadays, there are so many preservatives and additives in our food designed to help products last longer on the shelf. I wasn’t even surprised when I found store-bought bagels still looking perfectly fine several days after opening them.

Then I found my lost bag of sourdough bread.

And it was BLUE. 😂

We grew up associating mold with something being bad, wrong or gross. But it’s GOOD!! I mean not good that your delicious bread went to waste but this is supposed to happen. Seeing this got me thinking about how accustomed we’ve become to food staying fresh for so long that sometimes we forget that real food naturally changes over time.

Now, obviously, you’re not going to eat bread covered in mold. But seeing it reminded me why I appreciate knowing what goes into the food we eat.

Traditional sourdough can be made with just three simple ingredients: flour, water and a pinch of salt. No added preservatives or unnecessary extras needed.

And because it’s made with such simple ingredients, it doesn’t have the same shelf life as products formulated to stay fresh for longer. That’s why I usually freeze mine!

For me, choosing food with simple ingredients is about being more mindful of what we’re putting into our bodies, rather than expecting everything to last forever.

Maybe we’ve become a little too used to food that doesn’t change … so let’s change that starting here.

Sourdough starter jars with care instructions and recipe can be purchased through us, made fresh on demand for $10. (See what I did there 😜)

Happy Friday!

September has come and gone quicker than expected and it’s hard to believe we completed our chicken season at the The Table Community Food Centre just a couple weeks ago.

These two are doing a happy dance for a job well done.

No chicken deaths to predators … woohoo 🥳

Daisy and Yuki have been alternating shifts in the field all season and they finally got their first day off!

What did they do first, you ask?

Head straight over to the chicken coop to check on our layers. Their work may be done for the season but apparently they didn’t understand that.

Busy, happy farm dogs!

Today marks the completion of our final batch of chickens for the season.

At 2:45 this morning, Alex and I were up and out the door, rounding up and carefully collecting 240 birds, 39 crates in total.

All of our chickens are inspected and processed at a licensed poultry processing facility, allowing us to legally sell our chicken directly to you, at farmers’ markets and through the local stores we supply under our artisanal chicken licence.

As we close out another season, we just want to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who has purchased our chicken, visited our farm, supported our posts, shared our story and encouraged us along the way.

Now it’s time for a much-needed winter reset, a little slower pace, lots of planning and plenty of work behind the scenes to get ready to raise, prep and serve you again next year.

We’re so grateful to you

I paused in the driveway yesterday afternoon eager to slow down time. I stood there in awe, watching my girls walk back together with pumpkins in their arms.

I quickly asked Alex for his phone so I could record them, never taking my eyes off them.

I didn’t want to miss a second.

It’s definitely bittersweet living all these sweet, special moments one last time through our youngest. As busy as life is, i never take pausing for granted

Thank you to our incredible neighbours for always blessing us with delicious produce.

🚨 EXTRA WHOLE CHICKENS — JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING!

We had an excellent year raising birds with minimal losses, and after dedicating so many to the stores we supply, Farmers’ Market, and whole-bird pre-orders for next week, we’ll have a limited number of extra whole birds available from our final batch of the season.

These chickens make for a delicious main course and are perfectly sized for your upcoming Thanksgiving gatherings. We’ll also provide our go-to recipe with easy instructions to follow, so you’ll have everything you need for a delicious Thanksgiving meal!

There are only a limited number available, so if you’d like to put your name down for some birds, please message us directly.

Happy Friday!

This was a moment to remember. Perth did such a great job for the night market, hosting incredible bands that had the community gravitating towards each other
