Comment on We’re setting the new standard for farm animal welfare by Nanny

I found you product by chance but I was glad I did, my granddaughter was just DX with Celiac Disease and I have been out of my mind to find foods she will eat because she is ADHD also. I wasn’t sure when I picked up your gluten free tenders what the outcome would be. Low and Behold she loved them and asked for more.
We take so much for granted when we buy food, who would ever think that almost everything we put in our bodies are basically killing us. It took me till now that I am actually forced to read the labels of food products it scares me especially when I can’t even pronounce the names of these chemicals.

I commend you for taking the time and the effort to change the way people look at food and the way you feed your livestock so that they remain as healthy as we will.

Just a simple thanks. Just bought some of your duck breasts at Whole Foods and enjoyed a terrific dinner. It truly makes a difference to know the animals we eat were raised naturally and treated kindly even in their slaughter. My grandfather was a German immigrant who came to farm in upstate New York in the 1920′s. My retirement dream is to start a small homestead where I can grow most of my own food.

I want to send along my sincere thanks to you and your team for adopting this new process. I make efforts in all my food purchasing to find the best choices both in terms of animal treatment as well as environmental impact.

I was always a fan of your chicken and ready to bake products, but now you have won my undivided loyalty with this move to the new system.

My only wish, you would be in more restaurants and locales and unseat those who are not making this move.

Cheers!

Bravo!!! It is a wonderful thing you are doing. You are a shining example and I hope that others follow your lead. This will end a great deal of suffering and all because you took the time to get informed and have a heart. I have already spread the word to my family and friends who also care about the humane treatment of animals. Thank you so much!

Well so glad to here about this wheat problem. I’m Gluten Sensitive… and a lot of people are also Living Gluten Free. So I will be buying your product always. Wish you could get into Costco or regular markets in Southern California. You would sell a ton.. so many people are “Freaking Out” ever since Food Inc. came out, and more and more are willing to pay more for the Organic. Anyways keep up the Great Work !

We had either a roaster or broiler (3 1/2 pound whole chicken), slow roasted in the oven, buttered the skin first.
It was the best, tenderest chicken we ever had! No taste comparison with any other chicken!

Thanks for the positive comment Timothy! There might be a Whole Foods or Fresh Markets store in Knoxville or Greenville. Your response to our products is very rewarding. Thank you!

Hi Scott,
I was wondering how much of your product is now organic certified? I got on-line to look over how you raise your chicken and noted the organic info. I’ve not seen the organic products at my local store in NJ and would love to buy USDA certified organic fresh chicken. For years, I bought Eberly’s organic chicken, but my health food store no longer carries this. I assume that the main difference between your organic certified and natural chicken is the use of certified organic soy, corn, etc in your feed. Is this correct?

Also, wanted to know if you sell your organic chicken manure. In the spring/summer I have an organic farm, Smith’s Farm in Red Lion PA. Jusr started growing veggies last year and would like to get some chicken manure to spread and compost.
Thanks for your time and sharing your stories about food in Europe.

Scott,

I can personally vouch for the quality of your fryers, in both how they are raised and processed.

Four years ago and through a fluke really, our son was diagnosed with Esinophillic Esophagitis, a new condition not clinically diagnosed prior to 2000 that results in his immune system recognizing food as an invading organism and then attacking his body in response. He now has a highly restrictive diet, and is unable to eat nearly all processed foods – including meats that you might find in your local grocer or even in a health food store – due we believe to the way their meats are processed. In the case of chicken, we’ve settled on the notion that the problem is in the solutions that the chicken are immersed during freezing.

We lived in the city of Knoxville, TN then as today, and so growing our own livestock wasn’t an option, but we were fortunate to find a local butcher that specialized in high quality meats, and he happened to sell your chickens and turkeys – in fact when we talked about our son’s health issues, it was he that gave us the idea that perhaps the freezing solutions might be the problem. He explained to us the air chilling process used for your chickens, and to our surprise our son did not have any bad reaction to your meats. It was to be honest a real burden lifted from us. At that time our son had no other source of complete protien.

That butcher went out of business around the time that the economy collapsed, and the nearest source of your chicken is now around 120 miles away in Greenville, SC. Despite the fact that our son’s diet restrictions have eased a little in the past couple of years, and we’re not in the dire situation we found ourselves then – thanks so much again for how you helped us through those early days of it – we’ve not been unable to find a consistent source of local, organically raised chickens that can compare to yours in either quality or price.

I had the idea tonight to contact my local food co-op and see if they can order your chickens…we’ll see how fruitful that turns out to be. I do think that your chickens are superior in quality and processing to just about any other we’ve found. I hope someday soon you’ll again be able to supply them to the Knoxville, TN area. Thanks.
