We recently had a customer wondering what the difference was between our Washington grown and “southern grown” poultry. And we admit, “southern” is a bit vague. Here’s the low down. Our southern grown chicken comes from a handful of Southeastern states, including Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. The southern farms include Sanderson Farms, Pilgrims’ Pride, Tyson, Wayne Farms and SmartChicken. These farms produce quality poultry at great prices. We also offer Washington grown chicken, usually from Draper Valley Farms. Draper Valley, although no longer locally owned, is locally operated – shortening the trip from the farm to your shopping cart.
If you’re looking for a great, locally grown chicken – go for the Draper Valley option. If you’re looking to stock up on chicken at a great price, choose our southern grown chicken. Many of the southern growers, such as SmartChicken offer hormone-free, organic and certified humane chicken.
