At Honey Hollow Homestead, we believe the best tasting chicken is also the most humanely raised--and processed-- chicken. Once they are ready to leave the brooder, our chickens spend every single day outside, with access to fresh pasture, sunshine, and fresh air. Our family (including our two young children) take the responsibility of giving the chickens the best lives possible very seriously, and you will often find the kids out in the pasture feeding them fruit and vegetable snacks. When it is time to process these chickens, we do it by hand, here on the farm. Hand processing not only keeps chemicals like chlorine--often used at multiple times during industrial processing-- and f***l matter out of the meat, but also provides a calm, humane experience for the chickens. Because of Ohio regulations, you do have to come to the farm to pick up your packaged, ready-to-cook chickens, but we love this, because you can see firsthand how your chickens lived. We are proud of our process and proud of how we prioritize the health and happiness of our chickens. We are grateful for their lives and for the sustenance it provides our family, and we are grateful our children will grow up seeing where their food comes from, and knowing that feeding families healthy, nutritious food does not have to come at the costs that are hidden behind industrially raised and processed foods. Thank you for checking out our page, and please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to come see how our process works!
