"Our chickens this week are brought to us from a lovely farmer in mid-state...She currently has a small poultry farm that raises free range chickens and eggs. Her products are not certified organic, yet. She feeds her layers organic corn and non-soy crumble each morning before they are let out to eat all the bugs and grass they can on their two acres of pasture.
