This really is “Field-to-Table” living!
I raised these birds, fed them and kept predators at bay. They’ve lived their entire lives out in the forest and now I’m harvesting them for my freezer. Once filled, I’ll provide friends and neighbors with some of the healthiest free-range, super-organic natural meat you could ever find. It also has the lowest carbon-footprint imaginable, if that sort of detail is of any importance to you.

2022 season finally started and we can once again fill our freezer! This is truly “Field to Fork” living and whether you hunt or not, too many people don’t know where their food comes from.
I helped raise these birds, fed them, kept predators at bay and now it’s harvest-time. Any additional birds I get, will be prepared and given away to friends and neighbors.
Every little helps.
