Soup hens

Would you like to make nutritious broth from chickens that have lived an extraordinary life in the fields?

Health benefits
Warm up this fall and winter. Stock is great on its own, as a meal with vegetables, potato or noodles, or to add flavor to cold season stews.

In the book Nourishing Traditions, chicken stock is described as:

• Incredibly nutritious and easy for the body to absorb
• Good for digestion, due to gelatin, and helping to cure intestinal diseases
• Good for reducing meal costs by making better use of proteins
• Used in many cultures to help overcome colds and flu
• Great for enhancing the flavor of meals when used in simmering dishes

This is how we make our chicken broth
It's super easy to make chicken stock! We send a recipe when you order chickens from us. You just need the largest pot you have (or an Instant Pot), water, a little vinegar or wine, onions and carrots, celery (optional) and herbs such as parsley.

We usually freeze the stock in small quantities, to thaw and use for specific meals.

The hens are frozen and available for pickup at the green market or at the farm. Best before 13 sep 2025. Weight circa 1.5kg.
