Last night we had the pleasure of hosting our counties St. Clair County, Alabama Young Farmers meeting where we discussed what pastured poultry is & APPPA. We demonstrated how to cut up whole birds and I did a time trial cut up.

Back story.
In 2024 I attended the American Pastured Poultry Conference in Texas and had the honor to compete against 11 of the best pastured poultry producers out there cutting up a chicken. It was such fun and I learned alot. I came in 11th place at 1 min & 41 seconds. Since then I have been trying to improve. Will post the link below to the videos if you want to watch. Also check out APPPA if you’re not members.

Last night I beat my record at 39.6 seconds. Still got some improvement to do but it was exciting. Looking forward to being able to attend another conference in the future someday.

Just wanting to take a minute to congratulate and brag on an old friend from way back when. If you follow this circuit and need someone to root for this man would be a good one. So proud of him. - Josh.

QUALIFIED for the BBQ World Cup for a shot at $1,000,000!

🇺🇸 Cody Howard of Rollin Smoke BBQ punched his ticket at Lakeland Pigfest. From Altoona, Alabama to Las Vegas!

Cody's first competition came through work, and a third place call in ribs was all it took to get him hooked. He learned the craft cooking KCBS contests with his dad, then took what he was taught and found his own way. He competes alongside Macey Howard. We'll be sharing more of his story throughout the year.

Best of luck on The Road to 1 Million, Cody. The BBQ World Cup: 100 pitmasters, $1 million, Las Vegas! April 2027.

🚨 CHICKEN RESTOCK 🚨

You all cleaned us out last month.

In fact, our last chicken restock sold out faster than any chicken restock we’ve had before. We appreciate every single order and are excited to finally say…

Pasture-raised chicken is BACK IN STOCK! 🎉

Raised on fresh pasture, moved regularly to new grass, and given the freedom to scratch, peck, and forage the way chickens were meant to.

We’re restocked with whole chickens and a variety of cuts, but if last month taught us anything, it’s that waiting may not be your best strategy. 😉

Order now for local pickup, delivery, and Alabama shipping.

Thank you for supporting local farming and trusting us to feed your family. We don’t take it lightly. ❤️

👉 Shop now before this batch disappears too.

Three years difference between the two.
Yet it feels like yesterday.

Same pasture. Same two people.

A few more gray hairs.
A few more wrinkles.
A whole lot more lessons learned.

Three years of sunrises.
Three years of storms.
Three years of broken things, hard lessons, answered prayers, and long days.

The farm has grown. The animals have multiplied. The dreams have gotten bigger. And the wear and tear? Well, that comes with building something worth leaving behind.

Some days it feels like the farm is aging us faster than we’d like. But when we look around at what God has allowed us to build, we’re reminded that these years have been well spent.

Turns out, the years leave their mark on more than the land.

And that’s what happens when you’re busy building something that matters.
