Freedom Rangers are a slow-growing French breed known for their incredible flavor and suitability for raising on pasture. They're the French answer to creating a product that reflects heritage genetics, tastes wonderful, and is economically viable to produce. This is an experimental batch of this new breed; the flavor is, if you can believe it, even better than our regular pastured poultry. We recommend cooking these birds at a low temperature to allow their muscles to soften: try roasting at 300-325F for 50-100 minutes. Feathers are darker so you may notice more pinfeathers than you are used to; they'll disappear after cooking, or you can remove them with tweezers before cooking if you want, though it is not necessary.

Additional Info
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use. Learn more.

Delicious!
Bird arrived with some black feathers which looked kind of freaky but we’re easy to remove. Chicken was delicious.

Tasts much better. Honestly, cant compare to mass produced. Completely different taste and even texture.

Freedom Ranger whole chicken
I slow smoked this chicken around four hours. It was extremely tender, moist, and so flavorful. There were some small pin feathers like but they were not any worse than any other kosher chicken in fact they were darker and easier to remove than most chickens. Will definitely order this again!!

Whole chicken
Delicious however it had too many feathers which took a bit more cleaning than I would have liked.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
| Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
|---|---|
| under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
| ~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
| ~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
