Ophelia's Farm — Presale | Pasture-Raised Whole Chicken (4-5lb.)

Reserve your pasture-raised whole chicken from Ophelia's Farm. Pay in full today, secure your bird, and help us build the regenerative farm our community deserves.

Real chicken. Raised right. Reserved just for you.

At Ophelia's Farm, we do things the old way — because the old way works. Our meat chickens are raised entirely on open pasture, living freely, foraging naturally, and growing at their own pace. No factory shortcuts. No overcrowded houses. Just honest, pasture-raised chicken the way it was always meant to be.

Right now we're offering a limited presale on our pasture-raised whole chickens. This isn't just a purchase — it's a reservation. You're securing your bird directly from the farm, while helping us grow the infrastructure needed to bring more clean, regenerative meat to our community.

When you preorder, you're locking in your chicken and funding the farm that raises it.

What You're Getting:

• One whole pasture-raised chicken (4.5lb)
• Raised on open pasture at Ophelia's Farm
• No hormones, no antibiotics, no shortcuts
• Deep flavor and quality you simply cannot find at a grocery store
• Local pickup only — pickup date confirmed after your order

How Presale Works:

1. Place your order and pay in full today
2. Your bird is reserved specifically for you
3. We'll reach out with your confirmed pickup date and location
4. Pick up your chicken fresh from the farm

Where Your Money Goes:
Every presale purchase goes directly back into Ophelia's Farm — funding pasture infrastructure, processing equipment, and the continued development of our regenerative farming operation. You're not just feeding your family well. You're helping build a farm that feeds the whole community.

Why Pasture-Raised Matters:
Pasture-raised chickens produce meat that is:

• Richer in flavor and natural juices
• Higher in nutrients compared to conventionally raised birds
• Raised humanely with space to roam and forage
• Better for the land through regenerative grazing practices

Availability is Limited.
We raise our chickens in small batches to maintain the highest quality. Once this presale is full, it's full. Don't miss your spot.

Add-On Note — Individual Cut Processing

Want Your Bird Broken Down? Add Processing at Checkout.

When you add processing to your whole bird order, we take care of all the work for you. Instead of picking up a whole bird, your chicken will be fully processed and broken down into individual cuts — ready to go straight into your kitchen.

Choose Your Processing Style:

Option 1 — Bone-In, Skin-On

The classic farmhouse cut. Maximum flavor, natural juices sealed in.

Your bird will be broken down into:

• Bone-In Skin-On Breasts — hearty, juicy, and perfect for roasting or pan cooking
• Bone-In Skin-On Thighs — the most flavorful cut on the bird, rich and tender
• Drumsticks — skin-on and ready for the grill, oven, or smoker
• Wings — full wings, skin-on, perfect for any occasion
• Back & Carcass — ideal for rich homemade bone broth and stock

Keeping the bone and skin locks in natural flavor and moisture during cooking — the way farmhouse chicken was always meant to be prepared.

Option 2 — Boneless, Skinless

Clean, lean, and ready for any recipe.

Your bird will be broken down into:

• Boneless Skinless Breasts — lean, clean, and incredibly versatile
• Boneless Skinless Thighs — tender, easy to cook, and full of flavor even without the skin
• Drumsticks — bone-in by nature, skin removed for a cleaner finish
• Wings — skin removed, great for lighter preparations
• Back & Carcass — reserved for bone broth and stock

Boneless skinless cuts are perfect for meal prepping, quick weeknight dinners, and recipes that call for clean lean protein.

A Note on Both Options:
Regardless of which processing style you choose, your chicken comes from the same pasture-raised bird — raised on open land at Ophelia's Farm with no hormones, no antibiotics, and no shortcuts. The quality is in the bird itself.

Cut breakdown may vary slightly by bird size and weight.

Thank you for supporting Ophelia's Farm. Every bird reserved brings us one step closer to the farm we're building together.
