organic chickens.

First major snow of the season yesterday (Nov 5) but still mild and its all a sloppy mess this morning. It's been a busy week! Just last weekend I finished my share of the work at the Red Canoe cafe in terms of getting the house ready for new tenants but Tom is still there every day working on outside tasks and final winterizing. On Wednesday we were up at 3:30 for our third trip of the season to Morrison's Poultry Processing in Omemee. Birds caught and crated in the dark by 4:30 and we were at the processor on the dot of eight a.m. Treated ourselves to a not bad breakfast in the Zellers cafe and then I went to Value Village and Chapters while Tom read in the truck. A long day but at five pm one is rewarded with 86 pristine, bagged, cooled, priced chickens. Loaded and on the way home by 5:30; delivered some in Barry's Bay and home to the farm by 9:30 where we loaded the final 75 into our already packed freezers. You can buy this fabulous tasty birds for 4.50 per lb...fed only on Homestead Organics grains with absolutely no antibiotics or hormones or any of the crap in commercial chicken feed.
