FAQs

Q: What does “air chilled” mean?

Air chilled is a method of poultry processing that involves cooling the chickens after they have been processed using only cold air, rather than submerging them in cold water. In traditional processing methods, chickens are usually chilled in cold water, which can lead to water absorption and dilution of the chicken's natural flavor. Read more about how Commonwealth Pountry air-chills their chickens.

Q: What are the chickens fed?

Chickens are fed a wholesome and nutritious recipe made of whole grain corn, soy, essential vitamins, and amino acids which support optimal development in our flock.

Q: Are your chickens organic?

Chickens are fed a diet that is 100% vegetarian and are not given growth-promoting antibiotics. They are raised and processed in a humane manner and are never adulterated in any way. That said, they are not certified organic. Certifications like organic, which merely dictate a 'worst case' scenario, are prohibitively expensive for farmers and processors below a certain size.

Q: How are the chickens raised?

The chickens are reared in temperature controlled houses that allow them to have comfortable living conditions and do not restrict their movement. They are not confined, or over-stocked like factory farmed chickens are. Commonwealth hand selects the best growers, and ensures that humane treatment and practices are always being followed. Improperly raised birds don't taste anywhere near as good as well-raised birds.

Q: Where are the chickens raised?

Chickens are primarily raised on small family farms in Pennsylvania, and to a lesser extent in New Hampshire. Commonwealth’s decision to raise birds outside of Maine was the result of an extensive sustainability analysis conducted in collaboration with the University of Maine, considering the carbon footprint of growing here versus in a warmer climate, and the emissions associated with multiple shipments of feed versus transporting birds once, among other factors. Given that quality is a primary motivating factor for us, we think this arrangement is the right balance between what makes sense environmentally, and what produces the best quality bird.

Cooking Tips

  • Season well: Since boneless, skinless chicken breasts are relatively lean, it's important to season them well before cooking to maximize their flavor. You can use a simple seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or get creative with other spices and herbs that complement chicken, such as paprika, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Use high heat: Chicken breasts cook quickly, so it's best to use high heat to sear and brown them on the outside while keeping them juicy and tender on the inside. You can cook them on a grill, a stovetop skillet, or in the oven at a high temperature (around 400°F or 205°C) for best results.
  • Cook to the right temperature: To ensure that your chicken breasts are cooked safely and evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. They should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to be safe to eat. However, be careful not to overcook them, as this can cause them to dry out and become tough.
  • Let them rest: After cooking your chicken breasts, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. Tent them with foil to keep them warm while they rest.
  • Get creative: Chicken breasts are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from salads and stir-fries to sandwiches and pasta. Experiment with different marinades, sauces, and cooking methods to find your favorite ways to enjoy them. With their all-natural, antibiotic-free, and air-chilled qualities, these chicken breasts are sure to be a hit in any recipe you choose.

Why Heartstone Farm Chicken is Simply Better

Heartstone Farm chicken is a cut above any store-bought chicken you've ever tried.

Our chickens are raised with exceptional care, resulting in a flavor that's unmatched.

We source our chicken from eight Amish-owned family farms in Central New York and partner with Morning Star Poultry, an Amish-owned processor in Fort Plains, New York, to ensure the highest quality from farm to table.

Unlike the mass-produced chicken found in supermarkets, our birds are raised on small family farms where every member of the family is involved in caring for them.

Our chickens are never given antibiotics or growth hormones. They thrive on pasture during the warmer months, and when winter comes, they are kept in cage-free barns, where they stay warm and have constant access to feed and water.

When it’s time for processing, our chickens are transported less than 30 minutes to Morning Star, a small, family-owned USDA facility.

One of the key differences with our chicken is the air-chilling process.

Most industrially processed chicken is cooled in chemical-laden water baths, causing the meat to absorb unwanted additives. At Heartstone Farm, we believe your family deserves better. Our poultry is butchered the same day it arrives at our facility, following all USDA guidelines meticulously. It then passes through several environmentally controlled chambers, where purified cold air circulates around the chicken.

The result? A healthier, safer, and more flavorful chicken that’s simply better.

A Note From Farmer Dan

Chicken breasts from the grocery store are uniformly dry and tasteless. Not so with these tasty breasts - try them and discover for yourself.
