Mary’s Free-Range Chickens are processed and cooled individually using cold air, rather than the more commonly used method of placing the chickens in a communal bath of water. This air chilled method prevents the absorption of water, greatly reducing any potential of bacterial cross contamination.

     The air chilled method produces a better tasting chicken. With no water added, the air chilled method keeps the "real" chicken flavor and juices. No water is absorbed, so you get the natural flavor of chicken. We save hundreds of gallons of water everyday by using the air chilled system.

     All of our chickens grow naturally with plenty of room to roam in a caring environment on ranches in sunny California.  Mary’s Chickens are fed a high quality vegetable protein diet with no animal by-products or additives. Mary’s Chickens are never debeaked. Every effort is made to treat our chickens as humanely as possible throughout the production process.
