Green Circle™ chicken is available exclusively at D’Artagnan. This heritage-breed, free-range chicken is certified humane, raised without antibiotics or hormones for twice the time of an average bird, and fed actual vegetables, along with grains. Chefs love this chicken for its unique, old-fashioned, real chicken flavor – which you can now enjoy at home.
Our exclusive heritage-breed Green Circle chicken is raised by a network of small Amish and Mennonite family farms in Pennsylvania and certified by Humane Farm Animal Care. The chickens eat a diet which includes clean surplus vegetables from markets - bruised, cut or otherwise unattractive vegetables - along with cuttings and peelings from restaurant kitchens and grains like corn and soy. Green Circle chickens enjoy more than twice the barn space required to be considered free-range, they have access to the outdoors and the ability to forage naturally, and are raised to 85 days of age, as opposed to 42 days, which is standard for commercially-raised chicken. Green Circle chickens are air-chilled and hand processed in a low-volume facility near the farms where they are raised.
