Farm Fresh Chicken: Stress Free

Chicken in Field Chicken is a great meal anytime, but often it is thought of on Birthdays and summer barbeques because it is a stress free option. Most people love chicken and the preparation is minimal, making it a low stress meal. One of the reasons our chicken is so good is that the animals live stress-free. Heritage Valley Poultry allows the animals to have lots of room to roam and facilities to keep them safe from predators and severe weather conditions. The goal is to keep them happy so they will grow and develop naturally with the best care possible. This is best done using organic methods and allowing them to be indoors or outdoors as they choose. This location also allows us to harvest the poultry efficiently, with the least amount of stress to the animals possible. Call Nels for some farm fresh chicken today!

The process of organically growing farm fresh turkey, chicken, duck, rabbit, or goose is monitored from hatchling to full grown.

Some Articles About Our Farm Fresh Turkey and Chicken

Articles about Farm Fresh Turkey and Chicken

A great Article in The Salt Lake Tribune highlighted Nels and Heritage Valley Poultry. It was also published on the Slow Food™ Utah site. A third article appeared in The Salt Lake Magazine by Mary Brown Malouf (starts on page 68).

In addition Nels has has been contacted to appear on television where these wonderful tasting organic rabbits will be cooked and the technique demonstrated for the television audience.

All of these articles and appearances were very complementary and they point out the advantages of using organic methods to produce farm fresh turkey, chicken, duck, rabbit, and goose. The dedication to basic principles and practices of Nels and his team produces healthy and happy poultry and you can really taste the difference with our freshly harvested turkey and chicken!

Some Notes

An email about some legislation that was before congress concerning the use of antibiotics in animals was recently sent around. They quoted from "Most U.S. Antibiotics Fed to Healthy Livestock," Scientific American, January 10, 2001 which stated that up to 70% of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used on industrial farms in food for healthy animals. Elijah Zarlin, the person who sent the email, said "Livestock producers use antibiotics in food and water to promote faster animal growth, what industry calls 'nutritional efficiency,' but the practice is also used as a way to compensate for the effects of extreme overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in factory farms."

Giving antibiotics to healthy animals has at least two effects: (1) it allows the bacteria to develop resistance to it, which makes all animals more vulnerable to disease and (2) we consume the residue and that allows the bacteria to develop resistance to our antibiotics, making us more vulnerable to disease as well.

At Heritage Valley Poultry healthy animals don't receive any drugs. We also do not give any growth hormones to our animals. These are important practices that, if adopted by more producers, can make a difference.

Chicken Dinner

Take the Taste Test!

In the October issue of SaltLakeMagazine.com, starting on page 68, the article Chicken Feed by Mary Brown Malouf appeared. With that article was the results of an unscientific taste test by some of the staff at the magazine. Our farm fresh chicken was a big hit! I have quoted what it says below.

Taste Test
FACTORY VS. FARMED

By Mary Brown Malouf [p. 71]

We roasted a Heritage Valley chicken and a conventionally grown Tyson chicken and conducted an unscientific taste test at Salt Lake magazine.

The Heritage Valley chicken was smaller (just under four pounds) than the Tyson bird, which weighed in at over five pounds, with a lot of the extra weight carried in the breast. Americans like white meat.

Photographer Adam Finkle, art director Heidi Larsen and associate art director Josh Wangrud. The verdict was spontaneous and unanimous:

JOSH: "This (organic) tastes like I always think chicken is going to taste but never does."

ADAM: "The organic chicken has a meatier texture. Texture, color, taste - they were all better in the organic chicken."

HEIDI: "This (organic) is the first chicken I've eaten in six months, and it was worth it."
