You're doing a lot of choppin', but no chips are flyin'. – Foghorn Leghorn, legendary American Gallus gallus

OK, we've mentioned that our chickens are delicious. Everyone claims their chickens are delicious. So now what?

We work so hard, so zealously and so downright humanely at raising the most delicious chicken you've ever tasted, we'll admit to maybe having a slight bias. Hence, we won't rely solely on our opinion, nor should you. So here's where we let our chips fly.

Accolades

"The most unbelievable birds I have ever had on the menu here at NAHA. The flavor and tenderness of the meat is unlike any other chicken. The skin roasts to a beautiful and crisp golden brown while sealing in the incredible amount of juice and goodness that are in the birds. You can tell just by looking at the chickens that they have been raised with amazing care, attention and love."
Carrie Nahabedian, Naha, Chicago

"In my opinion this is the best chicken available in the world, and I've done some searching. Having seen the conditions in which these birds are bred, raised and processed, I can absolutely guarantee that if you are at all concerned with these issues there is no better place to buy your chickens than Earth Shine Farm."
Todd Wickstrom, Director of The Orai Group and Co-Founder of Heritage Foods USA

"Every time I get a hold of a bird from Earth Shine Farm, I roast it in nothing but salt and pepper, then share it with as many friends as I can."
Chef Rodger Bowser, Zingerman's Deli, Ann Arbor

"The Chickens from Earth Shine Farms are unbelievable! They have a sweet tender meat that roasts perfectly. The quality and freshness shows the care these birds were given. This is the flavor of chicken I've been looking for since I was in Europe. Cuisine is honored to use these birds."
Chef Paul Grosz, Cuisine Restaurant, Detroit

"The chickens raised by the folks at Earth Shine Farm are spectacular…nothing else compares. We have also used their eggs in all of our baked goods for years. Not only does Earth Shine produce quality organic products, but Laura Kay is extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. You won't be disappointed!"
Chef Jody Brunori, The French Laundry, Fenton, MI
