Caecilian Farm

Here at Caecilian Farm (pronounced "Sicilian"), we treat all of our animals with love and respect. We feed our chickens Green Mountain Organic Feed which contains no soy or GMOs. Our chickens graze freely on pasture from dawn 'till dusk every day and are protected in their coop at night.

We raise Red Broilers for meat birds, which is a combination of a Heritage Rhode Island Red and the more common Cornish Cross. The Heritage breeds have a darker and richer flavor, but grow very slow and are very small. The Cornish Crosses grow much faster and get much larger, but don't have as much flavor. Hence, this is a perfect combination!

The last important part of this process is the pasture. Chickens love to forage in the grass and soil for worms, ticks and any other bugs they can find, as well as the grass itself. These critters are very healthy for both the chickens and later the humans. As a bonus, we also can a lot of tomatoes so our chicks feast on tomato seeds and other vegetable compost throughout the summer! This all goes into the health and flavor of these birds.
