Chicken Backs
Chicken Backs
Chicken Backs may not sound so typical, but they are one of the perfect items to bulk up your bone broth or chicken stock with at a lower cost and also getting excellent nutrition!
How to use the Chicken Backs to make Bone Broth?
- Place the bones back into the slow cooker and cover with water. Add enough water to completely cover the bones with about an inch over top of them. A little water may evaporate so you want to make sure to add plenty.
- Add one tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar, this helps break down the collagen in the bones to make it more abundant in the broth. This step can be omitted but I always add the apple cider vinegar and can't taste it in the final product.
- Add in an onion, quartered. Then, add in any fresh herbs or dried herbs.
- Cook on low for twelve hours.
- Run the broth through a fine kitchen strainer to separate off any leftover bones or scraps that didn't break down.

Is your farm sustainable?
Our farm is regenerative and sustainable. We move our animals daily to build the soil and the health of grasses which then leads to better quality meat.
How do I properly cook grassfed and pasture raised proteins?
All grassfed beef should be cooked at lower temperatures vs traditional grain fed beef. Our steaks have higher proteins and lower fat levels which makes it cook quicker. Grassfed beef usually requires 30% less cooking time at 145°F internally.
Pastured pork can easily be overcooked by using too high of heat or cooking it for too long. Checking the internal temperature is a good way to judge the degree of doneness. Ideally for a juicier, more tender piece of meat 145°F-165°F is best! If you want a more drier piece of meat then cook at 170°F.
Pastured chicken should never be eaten undercooked. With chicken a thermometer should be your best friend! Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
How do I safely handle/dispose of dry ice?
To guarantee that your product arrives at a safe temperature, dry ice is included to each shipment. When the order comes, it is not unusual for the dry ice to have completely dissipated.
Dry ice is extremely cold at -109°F. To protect your skin, you should always handle it with protective gloves. It is harmless to touch for a brief moment, but continuous contact can cause damaged skin.
DO dispose of dry ice by letting the unused portion dissipate in a well-ventilated area!
Do NOT leave dry ice with public access to where it can be touched by children or pets!
Do NOT dispose of dry ice in a sink, toilet, or other similar places. This will damage the structure because of extreme temperatures!
Do NOT place dry ice on a tilted or solid surface countertop as it will cause damage because of extreme temperatures!
Do NOT dispose in a trash or garbage can!
