Some simple answers to a simple question:

How do I order (get) delicious local food from your farm?

Pasture Raised Eggs –  Our eggs are available as our hens lay them.  Because we don’t run a production egg laying operation that means sometimes we have lots of eggs and sometimes we have just a few.  We try and deliver eggs on Tuesday nights to the Penfield Rec Center at about 7pm and on Thursdays at FLCC.  We also sell eggs right on the farm, and pickup is typically on Thursdays.  If you are interested, the best way to get on the list is to email the main hen directly – kelli(at)chickenthistlefarm.com.  You can contact us any other way to request eggs as well here.

Pasture Raised Broiler Chickens – Our pasture chickens go fast!  We open up pre-orders around the end of March every year.  You need to get on our email list here, or watch this site or Facebook or tune in on Twitter (follow @chickenthistle).  Currently we only offer seasonal orders from our summer flocks but are always considering a subscription option as well.  Ohh, and here’s a tip: number one complaint from new customers “I didn’t order enough chickens, I only got 3 and they are so great we ate them all before we knew it and had to go back to tasteless ‘store chicken’ for the rest of the year.” – Sold Out From 2011 Season and Have Not Yet Started Pre-Orders for 2012.

Fresh Seasonal Produce – When produce is in season we don’t have a roadside stand and we don’t attend any farmers markets but we do offer a great CSA and also do offer some extras for sale when we have them.  Sign ups for the CSA usually happen in January and customers in the CSA the previous year are given the preferred option of joining for another year.  If you didn’t make it into the current CSA, no worries, keep your eyes on Facebook or Twitter (follow @chickenthistle) for announcements when we have extras or out of season offers.  Visit our CSA page for 2012 CSA information.

Pasture Raised Holiday and Heritage Turkeys – We offered a small number of pastured turkeys (both traditional and heritage breeds) for sale in Fall 2011.  If you are interested in this very special opportunity and want to take part in the pasture to plate opportunity of literally catching up, processing and putting your own turkey on your family’s table this year – make sure you have signed up on our email list and stay tuned here. Have Not Yet Started Pre-Orders for 2012.

Pasture Raised Pork – Our first batch of hogs were harvested in December 2011 and were sold as half-pigs - cut and butchered to order by customers. If you are interested in future pastured pork offerings, make sure you are on our email list here and we will update you with plenty of time to spare (or spare ribs).  Piglets are expected sometime in Spring 2012! Have Not Yet Started Pre-Orders for 2012 but we have small sample packs for sale to those considering a half-pig purchase in 2012.
