How to get your “grass-fattened” chicken
Cayuta Sun’s chicken harvest is full of big, tender birds. If you are seeking locally-grown, pastured poultry, now is the time to make your order. There are several ways to easily purchase your birds. Come winter, we are no longer harvesting and eventually our 2014 crop will be gone.
Cayuta Sun is offering several ways to buy and pick up your birds:
Grass-fattened!
Our 2014 harvest is available now.
Our healthy, jumbo-sized birds forage in a sunny pasture rich in grasses and clover, seeds, fresh sprouts and of course bugs and worms.
Try Cayuta Sun Farm’s tender, big birds for roasting, grilling, stir-fry or however you please. Our 2014 harvest of chickens are available as 4-, 5-, or 6-pounds whole or halved.

Bacon-wrapped Dates stuffed with Cream Cheese
An easy appetizer for serving quality, pastured bacon.
This year’s Thanksgiving feast was a local foodie’s dream. Our hosts Steve & Liz of WellSpring Farm were serving a 30-pound turkey raised in the barn next door. They assembled a rich mixture of local farmers. Roots and fresh vegetables from Plowbreak Farm were prepared in traditional and not-so-traditional recipes. Deserts reflected the dinner guests’ bountiful harvest of apples, pears and berries. We enjoyed homemade cheese and bread, and plenty of Finger Lakes wine and home-brewed beer.
Pastured chickens make the tastiest, healthiest broth.
One advantage of buying a whole chicken is the bones. While making free Monday night deliveries, I was regularly reminded by customers why they were buying our meat: they wanted the healthy bones of pastured birds as well.
