Cedarstone Organic Farm

Cedarstone Pastured, Organically Grown Chickens are organically raised on our pastures. We pick them up as day-old chicks and order them with their beaks on so they can eat fresh grass,plants, and bugs that they find in nature. (Unfortunately, not all hickens are this lucky.) Our chicks live in the brooder where they are kept warm and safe for the first three weeks. They are fed locally milled organic feed from day one and they also get access to sunshine, fresh air and a feast of insects from the beginning. At three weeks of age, the birds are put out on our pasture in a "Chicken Tractor." A chicken tractor is a bottomless cage that provides both protection from the wind, rain and predators and also access to fresh pasture grasses, bugs, worms and all of the other things that chickens love. The chicken's tractor is moved daily to ensure that the chickens get lots of vitamins from fresh greens have access to clean living space, and as an added benefit, they enhance the environment by spreading clean, organic ertilizer on our pastures. Healthy and delicious. Processing We process our chickens at Morrison’s Custom Poultry Processing in Omemee. Morrison’s douse the birds in ice water for about 10 minutes, and then air cool them on racks. This process ensures a very low water content – possibly 0% - vs. an average of 12% water content most chickens sold in grocery stores.
