Our first chicken day of 2011 is on Tuesday, May 17th. Only 8 days away! You can pick up at the farm on the 17th and we will be in Springfield in front of the North Mama Jean's market on Wednesday, May 18th. We are eagerly anticipating this day. By now, most of us have run out of chickens in our freezers. It is time for some FRESH chicken! 2011 marks the first time Bechard Family Farm has been able to offer a 100% GMO-free chicken! Why has it taken so long? Prior to this year, the only way we could get GMO-free grain was to purchase it in truck-load quantities. Add to that the infrastructure of housing all this grain. You can quickly see why we were not able to begin that endeavor. This year, a feed mill about 30 miles away has started carrying this new feed in very limited quantities. We have been spoiled by our other mill. They are only 5 miles away AND they deliver! We would usually have them bring out 3 tons at a time. We are trying to adapt our schedule to allow for time for Farmer to go get the new feed. So far, that has worked out. We will find out next week if there will be a taste difference. We already know there is a huge nutritional difference. Come join the real food revolution. Order your Bechard Farm GMO-free chickens today!
