Whole Turkey

Fresh whole turkey available for Thanksgiving! Our turkeys have been raised on pasture and fed certified non-GMO grain from Stone House Farm in Livingston, NY. The birds average around 20 pounds; you can make a note in your order form of the exact size you’d like.

Whole Chicken

Our chickens roam freely and have access to a wealth of fresh air and sunshine. They're both healthy and delicious and raised according to the strictest production and humane treatment standards.

Half Chicken

Same delicious chicken as our whole birds, just split in half by our butcher for you convenience. Each comes in 2 pound packages of one half bird.

Chicken Cuts

Just want a few different cuts? We have you covered! We offer chicken legs, thighs, breasts (boneless and bone-in), and wings.

Soup Parts & Dog Treats

Great for broth, stock, and recipes for our more adventurous customers. Chicken organs also make great food for our loyal animal companions. Let us know if you have any questions!

Bulk Chicken

Chickens will sell out and we won't have more until Summer, so reserve 10 chickens today! Or have a chicken in the pot every week! Pay for 50 and get two free. Fill up your freezer or share with friends.

Flavor

Our full-flavored and richly textured chickens are the result of years of experience in raising birds on pasture. Unlike nearly every other chicken available, our birds are given free range on pastures as soon as they're old enough to leave the brooder. Protected by their guard dog, Nellie, they range about the pastures freely searching out bugs, grasses, and clover to supplement their feed. We raise a slower growing (compared to industrial cornish breeds) chicken from Moyer's Chicks in Quakertown, PA. By allowing our birds to run free and live nearly twice as long as their confined industrial counterparts, they develop a distinct rich flavor. Once you've tasted one of our birds, there's no going back to that bland mush that passes for chicken in most grocery stores.

Animal Welfare

We're proud of how we treat our livestock and would love to show you around our place. You wouldn't want to visit a chicken CAFO and they wouldn't let you either. Get in touch with us to set-up a visit.

Nutrition

In addition to tasting better, pasture-raised chicken has been found to have lower fat content and higher nutrition content than confinement raised chicken. Pasture-raised poultry has also been found to have higher levels of Omega-3 Fatty acids than confinement raised birds.

Soil Health

By moving our chickens around the farm we can distribute their manure about to replenish nutrients and bring biological life to our fields. By scratching about for seeds and eating bugs, they also contribute to keeping down weed and pest pressure. We're hoping to expand our operations in the future and are using our birds as the first line in bringing health and vigor back into the neglected land we're currently working.

Mike Yund and Michele Maxwell, along with their livestock guardian dogs Nellie, Esther, and Roscoe, work together to manage and operate YundWell Pastured Poultry. Mike and Michele have been working together on various farms in California and New York for the past decade. While working at Roxbury Farm in Kinderhook, NY, they raised a batch of 50 birds in the yard for themselves and friends. The next season it was a couple hundred that were sold through the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) at Roxbury Farm. That was the beginning of YundWell Pastured Poultry. The farm currently raises around 2,000 broilers (meat birds), 250 hens for eggs, and 100 turkeys a season. They are looking to expand the operation at their new home in Canaan, NY.

Nellie, Esther, and Roscoe are livestock guardian dogs and truly the cornerstone of the operation. All three are Maremmas, an Italian dog bred to live outdoors in the elements and protect sheep. They live outdoors with their flock of birds full time protecting them from aerial and land predators. Without the dogs on alert in the pasture, the birds could not roam about freely as they do. 

In the early years of YundWell, losses from predators, especially birds of prey, were financially and emotionally staggering. Since the dogs joined the team, losses from predators are nil. All three of them are fierce guardians of their flock but they adore people, belly rubs, and long walks in the winter snow.
