Stew birds are new to most folks - and for good reason. You simply don’t find them in the grocery store.
A “spent hen” is often considered past her usefulness once she is done laying. But we see it differently.
As homemakers, we’re always looking for ways to get the most nourishment from the dollars we spend. Stew birds truly fit that niche.
Slow cooking transforms these older hens. The meat becomes tender, the bones make a rich and flavorful broth, and one bird can become a generous, nourishing family meal.
We’re excited to offer a food that much of America has overlooked—valuing the whole bird, making the most of what we raise, and putting good food back into the hands of local families.
