"Let them eat grass"

From April through October we raise several batches of 1-200 Cornish Cross broilers in moveable field houses out in the pastures. The houses allow birds free access inside or out, depending on the weather and their individual preferences. Houses are on skids and so can be moved to cleaner, greener pastures throughout the season. Birds are fed organic grains which they supplement with grass, clover, insects and various found objects. About once a month, birds a butchered and sold fresh the same day to our customers in the State College, PA area. We encourage those interested in fresh chickens to order ahead of time for the whole season if possible. See our Fresh Poultry Order Form.
Two breeds of turkeys are raised from June or July through November in much the same way as the chickens. Broad-breasted white (normal size) and bronzes (huge) are available fresh the Tuesday before Thanksgiving by pre-order. See our Fresh Poultry Order Form.
All poultry, fresh or frozen, are sold during our regular "Meat Day" sales at Tait Farm. See Calendar section for details.
