You Know I Like My Chicken Fried

You Know I Like My Chicken Fried

This weekend, find fresh white broilers (Cornish Cross) and Red Broilers (Poulet-Rouge) available, as well as cuts of chicken.  The "Whites" are plump and juicy birds with more breast-meat while our "Reds" are richer, with more developed dark-meat flavor.  Also find our packages of Cut-up chickens.  It's a great weekend to fry up a batch of our favorite recipe from the Lee Brothers for Southern Fried Chicken.  Or spice it up with Blue Ribbon's Northern version.  Either way, indulge now before it gets too hot to even think about turning on the stove.

This week our good friend and winemaker, Robin McCarthy, released Saltbird Cellars white wines and you can find her Chardonnay and Sauvignon-Blanc in our farmstand.  Also available is jams and jelly from newcomer, Peconic River Preserves. Find local Strawberry and Strawberry-Rhubarb jam as well as Sunrise Habanero Jelly in our stand.  We all do better when we support each other and supporting local is the best!

 

Our Fresh Basil Aioli sold out in one day so we've made a larger batch for the weekend.  Made with our Organic egg yolks, Basil Aioli is perfect on a chicken sandwich, and even better mixed into egg salad or potato salad.  

The Story of the Little Gerrys

The Story of the Little Gerrys

The Story of our “Little Gerrys”

Farming on the North Fork since 2009, the first restaurant to support our small farm was The North Fork Table & Inn.   As a tribute to our friend and Chef, Gerry Hayden, Browder’s Birds is growing special flocks of pastured chickens this season specifically for local restaurants and our retail customers. 

Dubbed the “Little Gerrys”  - also a nod to the Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets a rooster and names him “Little Jerry” -  some highlights of how these chickens are raised:

·         Fed daily vegetable scraps from the food prep at North Fork Table and Inn in a true   “farm to table to farm” concept

·         Fed daily rations of certified organic feed

·         Live on a transitional organic pasture planted with clover, alfalfa, fescue, timothy grass, orchard grass and rye grass in bottomless pens providing direct access to bugs and forage

·         Moved daily to fresh pasture and live outdoors with access to fresh air and sunshine

·         All of these chickens are raised on our 16 acre farm in Mattituck

·         USDA processed

In addition, a portion of the sales proceeds of these chickens will be given to a Love Shared to support ALS research. We hope you enjoy the unique taste, texture and story of these truly local chickens.

 Did you know that Browder's Birds offers two kinds of broilers?  Our White Broilers tend to be larger in size with lots of tender, white breast meat.  We also raise Red Broilers, a slower-growing chicken, with a rich flavor and more dark meat.  This week we have both Reds and Whites for sale.  We also have cut-up White broilers available.  There is something for every appetite!
