Practices

5 Chicks and a Farmer uses regenerative farming methods that improve soil health and support biodiversity. Cattle are rotationally grazed on certified organic pastures, and poultry are raised in mobile chicken tractors with daily access to fresh pasture. No chemical fertilizers or herbicides are used, and all animals are raised humanely without artificial hormones.

Offerings

The farm sells pasture-raised chicken, grass-fed beef, pork, and turkey through one-time purchases or subscription models. Bulk beef orders include a variety of cuts (steaks, roasts, ground beef) with optional free vac sealing and bones/organ delivery. Special bundles like the 'Welcome to the Herd' and 'Beef Slow Cooker' cater to different cooking needs.

Visiting & Buying

Orders are delivered free across Ontario, with pickup available at the farm in Seaforth. Customers can reserve beef for fall 2026 delivery, with prices based on weight and a non-refundable deposit. The website offers a customizable online store with subscription options for regular meat box deliveries.
