Sold out until Spring

All I can say is wow. We have sold out of chickens in an unprecedented amount of time. The response to our chicken venture has been incredible and we are so thankful. It makes such a difference to have happy, nice, appreciative customers who value what we're doing. Unfortunately we've had to turn people away, but it has shown us that we really need to revise our method so we can do more chickens at a time. We are planning on expanding to two movable pens in the spring, that way we can have either twice as many chickens each cycle or chickens twice as often.

And in case you didn't make it to the market this weekend, pepper season has arrived and the tomatoes are still awesome. We've also been planting our fall greens, so your bodies don't have to wait too much longer for delicious and nutritious chard, kale, arugula, and spring mix.

That's it for now. Keep it local and keep it healthy. Go outside and enjoy the day!

Chicken Time

It's that time again! Our baby chickens are almost grown and ready to meet their maker. They will be available September 24th, 25th, 27th, and 28th. That is Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Saturday's chickens will be available for pick-up at the Santa Rosa Farmer's Market. The birds should be between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 pounds and the price is still $6.00 per pound.

You should also note that this is the LAST BATCH OF CHICKENS FOR THE YEAR. We have 80 birds available, so we highly suggest that you stock up for Winter and buy multiple birds. Chickens freeze really well and we have been told that freezing does nothing to compromise the quality or flavor of these birds. We recommend using a vacuum sealer if you can, but it isn't necessary.

We will be taking orders at the Farmer's Market on Saturday, but I suggest that you email us at Redwoodempirefarm@live.com to place your order TODAY!
