GROUND CHICKEN

Ground Chicken
Three 1lb packs

Kansas-based heritage farmer Frank Reese, who has made it his life’s work to preserve endangered breeds of poultry, has worked for years to maintain stronger lines of chickens. Reese has partnered with his first-ever protégé, Jed Greenberg of Chosen Farms, to raise and process kosher and non-kosher chickens in New Jersey.

Ground chicken is our go-to staple, the most versatile item in the entire Heritage catalog! For chili, meatballs, ragu in pasta, as filling for dumplings, tacos, stuffed peppers and anything else you can imagine, there is nothing so delicious, filling, easy to prepare and of course, sustainable! Ground meat is an essential part of true nose-to-tail farming and dining — but mostly, Heritage ground chicken is delicious, and an essential item to keep in the freezer at all times.

Good Shepherd chickens can be traced back over 100 years, are 100% antibiotic free, and are pasture raised. This is by far the juiciest, most flavorful bird on the market today.

Tamar Adler, in Vogue magazine, writes, "And the flavors! I am stunned by the Plymouth Rock, which smells like hay and has a marigold-yellow, pork-style fat cap beneath its skin. Its flesh is silky and grassy, bringing to mind smoked sablefish. The New Hampshire has meat that is almost lavender and tastes closer to an oyster, or perhaps Lardo di Colonnata cured in ancient marble, than to any chicken I’ve ever eaten. It’s rich in umami, that indescribable flavor in soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, truffles, and aged meat."
