We are not FDA Certified Organic, however, we prefer to call our practices "Better Than Organic". At Joe's Happy Acres we apply no chemicals to the land, or our animals and we rely only upon sunshine and nature to produce healthy food for you. The goal is to increase nutrient density in our products by increasing the biodiversity and nutrient density in the land, the forage, and the ecosystem which grow our animals.

We prioritize the well-being of our animals by providing them with a natural and healthy environment. Our animals are raised ethically and sustainably, ensuring their health and happiness.

We believe that the healthier the ecosystem around our animals, the healthier and happier those animals will be. The more active the soil, animal, and plant life on our farm, the more productive our farm can be.

Here we have 3 ways that we prefer to handle whole chickens. - On our smoker, usually 2-3 hours in a roasting pan filled with apple juice or beer and herbs. - In an InstaPot. - Spatchcocked on the grill or in the oven. A whole chicken may seem intimidating to cook, however, what you don't have with your original meal you can easily save for other dishes! We like to save and vacuum pack our leftover chicken for things like chicken pot pie, soups, pasta mixes, nacho's, and many other dishes.
