Poultry/ Lams
England Acres raises Cornish Rock X chickens for your eating pleasure. After you’ve tasted them, you will never go back to store bought chicken again!
As baby chicks, Judy hand tends each batch and raises them on a custom, ground feed. Alternating between a soy free based ‘on farm’ ground feed and a corn and soy custom mix; both mixes use an organic mineral supplement to balance the growing birds mineral needs. Customers can inquire at the Market or by emailing judy@englandacres.com, if they have a preference and want to know which batch of chickens were raised on a supplemental diet that was soy free.
Once each batch of Cornish Rock X chickens reach five weeks of age, and are fully feathered, they are then given access to a fresh pasture for the duration of their growth.
The chickens are never caged or harshly handled prior to having them processed at Locust Point Farm, a USDA inspected facility. The chickens are USDA inspected and individually packaged.
Prices are subject to change without notice depending on the cost of raising and processing the chickens. They usually average between 3.5-6 lbs per bird. Enough to feed the average family. Using Judy’s Seasoning Mix on the chicken gives a wonderful flavor to an already tender and delicious piece of meat!
England Acres is seasonally raising the Cornish Rock X, processing every 4-5 weeks, beginning in May and going thru the Fall months. Call or email to inquire when the next batch of Fresh Chicken will be available in The Farm Market.
Judy offers grass-fed Lamb at The Farm Market. Their chickens live and thrive on a variety of worms and bugs outdoors which only a pasture can provide.

Farm Fresh Eggs vs. Commercial Eggs: Not Even Close
The benefits of farm fresh eggs over commercial eggs:
1/3 less cholesterol
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin E
7 times more beta carotene
Aside from richer nutrient amounts, the farm fresh eggs typcally have a light brown shell (no indication of freshness), a darker yolk, and a richer egg white, and a more robust flavor. Typically, the yolk is off center in the commercial egg, indicating a loose egg white -- lesser quality. In a nice fresh egg, the yolk will rest in the center of the white, indicating a more desireable firmness of the egg white. The white of the farm egg is much clearer…also a characteristic of a top quality fresh egg. The cooking white you see is the “run-off” from the commercial egg as well. Something that you should not experience in a fresh top quality egg. In an effort to build a visual for you, the farm egg came out of the shell as 65% yolk, 30% white and 5% thin white. The commercial egg was about 30% yolk, 40% white and 30% thinned, watery white.
