BONES & FATS

Our heritage cross birds are usually smaller, producing smaller cuts of meat. They also have open pasture to roam, which keeps the chickens healthier and stronger, giving the meat more texture. We also go the extra mile to feed our birds an organic, local, diverse grain and bean blend, that we soak, ferment, and cook for our birds to increase digestion and nutrition absorption in our birds. You heard that right, we cook for our chickens!
Our chickens are always able to access extensive outdoor pasture paddocks to forage plants outside. During the winter they have a large barn they can also access to escape the cold. In the summer they have a number of portable houses. The portable houses are used so we can move the hens every few days to an entirely, new fresh swath of pasture for them to eat. Since domesticated poultry cannot live on pasture forages alone, our poultry are also fed certified organic grains (such as wheat, corn, flax, oats, triticale, barley, depending on season & availability). We carefully source & ferment our grains from certified organic farmers in our region and mix the feed in small-batches directly on the farm.
Cooking Tips:
-
Don't overcook! This is especially important for quick cooking methods like oven roasting, pan frying, or grilling. Use a food thermometer and stop when the chicken reaching 165 degrees.
-
Adjust cooking time to the weight of your chicken! Recipe cooking time is based on the weight in the recipe, so double check with your weights because our chickens tend to be smaller than conventional birds.
-
Baste or cook with liquids! We recommend cooking methods like slow and pressure cooking— these liquid cooking methods always come out incredibly tender! If you're using a quick cooking method, make sure to baste with juices, broth or butter every few minutes to increase tenderness.

Mint Creek’s herd of sows and boars include heritage breeds such as Mangalitsa, Hampshire, Berkshire, Duroc, Gloucestershire Old Spot, and White Chester. All are raised on our Certified-Organic Illinois prairie pasture. In addition to their pasture foraging, our hogs’ diet is supplemented with Certified-Organic grains and cooked beans. These are sourced locally (mostly from Janie’s Mill). This nutrient-dense feed is carefully sourced and mixed in small batches on site. Depending on season, ingredients in feed include Certified-Organic soybeans, black beans, yellow, red, or white corn, red wheat, winter wheat, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, oats, rye, hemp seed, barley, and triticale. The boars live their full life cycle here at the farm and we bring them to slaughter at the only Certified-Organic butcher in Illinois (Eureka Locker). To optimize tenderness, digestibility, and nutrient density, our heritage boar is dry-aged five or six days.
