Experience the difference that proper farming practices make with Bell & Evans Organic Whole Chicken. Known for setting the gold standard in humane, organic poultry production, Bell & Evans delivers superior flavor, texture, and quality with every bird.

What Makes Bell & Evans Exceptional:

• 100% USDA Certified Organic
• Raised without antibiotics, growth hormones, or animal by-products
• Air-chilled processing for superior flavor and texture
• Diet of organic, non-GMO grains
• Humane animal welfare practices from hatch to harvest
• No retained water, chemicals, or artificial ingredients
• Superior flavor and juicier meat due to proper raising methods

These premium whole chickens average 3.5-4 pounds each—the perfect size for roasting whole or breaking down for multiple meals. The air-chilling process (versus water-chilling used by conventional producers) ensures you're paying for chicken, not added water, while preserving natural flavor and creating superior skin texture.

At Hubbard's Bald Mountain Farm Market, we're proud to offer Bell & Evans organic poultry as part of our commitment to bringing you the finest quality products from producers who share our values of sustainability, humane treatment, and superior quality.

Cooking Recommendation: For perfect roast chicken, pat dry thoroughly, season inside and out with salt and herbs, and roast at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F until internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part of the thigh (approximately 1 hour total for a 3.5 lb bird).

Air-Chilled Difference

Bell & Evans' air-chilling process reduces water content by not soaking birds in chlorinated ice water like conventional producers. This results in no water weight gain, better flavor retention, and superior cooking performance.
