The fried chicken plates do sell out, so it’s recommended that customers pre-order through the farm’s website. Rotisserie can also be purchased that day with or without pre-order.
Friday’s fried chicken plate ($20) includes two pieces of double-fried, boneless chicken thighs, plus a biscuit, a side of coleslaw, and pasta salad. The fried chicken is not a gluten or dairy-free meal. All chicken is non-GMO, pasture-raised, USDA certified, and Halal certified.
