From the Farm Kitchen
One Chicken – Two Meals
Like so many of you, health is a priority, for our families and also for our land and livestock (which also includes our bees). Its why we drink mead, its why we eat raw honey and its why we feed our families locally raised and grown meats, vegetables, preserves and breads.
Pastured Chicken is not only tasty, and raised the way nature intended, it is very economical if used to its full potential, making more meal than one. This recipe brings together several of our Backed By Bees favorites into two meals: Roasted Chicken and Strawberry Vinaigrette Greens and Homemade Chicken and Vegetable Soup with Real Chicken Broth.
