Mobile-area friends, here’s a great opportunity to get Red Ranger chickens from Green Acres Farm. If we can put together an order for 25 birds or more, Mark Casson will deliver to Mobile THIS SATURDAY, December 17.
Green Acres uses organic practices; the birds are pasture-raised and supplemented with locally-milled conventional feed, and are never given antibiotics or hormones. Red Rangers are a more traditional foraging-type bird, rather than the large-breasted Cornish crosses that you typically find at the store. They are slower to mature and said to have a better flavor.
The cost is $5/pound and the birds range from 4-6 pounds. These would make a great holiday meal.
Let me know ASAP via a comment below, use the contact form, or leave a comment on Facebook if you would like to order.

This may be a stupid question but will they be plucked and eviscerated? Frozen? I only want to get one at first so it may not be worth your while.
Hi Barbara, not at all! Several people on Facebook have had the same question. Yes, they are completely processed and ready to cook whole roasting chickens. You can see a photo here of the ones I got from Green Acres in November. They are frozen. There are a lot of people who are just interested in getting one, so I am compiling a list; if we can accumulate enough we’ll have an order!
