eggs & tea blog

Jan. 17, 8 am to noon, at Jan’s house in Kalopa (near Honokaa) you are invited to join us as we will demonstrate how to humanely process 17 of our chickens.  Attendees will participate and learn about backyard chicken processing.  In addition, even if you do not attend, you can buy a processed bird to eat.  11 of them will be available for sale at $4/pound.  They are nearly 3 years old – so wet cook only, stewed or stock.  If you’ve been following this blog, you know these hens have been locally raised free-range on grass, organic feed, comfort and human affection their whole lives.

This is a Slow Food Hawaii event, so SFH members get priority, but there are still spaces open, so non-members are welcome too!  To sign up (to attend, and/or buy a chicken to eat), email our SFH president Shelby.
