Citrus County Locally Grown: Chicken Special - This Week
THIS WEEK
*SPECIAL THIS WEEK: Whole Chicken $4.99/lb $5.60/lb *
ON THE FARM
Rain and Bugs have taken a toll on what local crops there are. So on the vegetable side there is slightly lower product count.
EGG PRICES
The pricing for eggs in the big box stores has shot up and is now around $3.00 you can find Eggs on the market that are Free Range (outside for most of the daylight hours), Non GMO Feed, No Antibiotics and humanely treated, from $3.95.
CHICKEN
This week I had a very interesting email conversation, over several days, with the CITRUS COUNTY grower that supplies the USDA chickens to Florida Fresh Meat. Their Pasture Raised, Heritage Breeds have No Liquids (salty broth) or other added “ingredients” when processed. The resulting chicken is tender and moist with a remarkable flavor “Like it used to be.” When purchasing chicken please remember the following
CAGE FREE
Means they are raised in a, probably overcrowded, barn or grow out shed.
FREE RANGE
In effect this means “Cage Free” + they have access to the outside.
The USDA regulations do not specify the quality or size of the outside range nor the duration of time an animal must have access to the outside.
PASTURED
Chickens live on grass for the majority of the day, closing up at night is normal to protect them from predators.
HERITAGE
A chicken from historically older stock, probably came from Europe centuries ago, that has a slower growth and the meat develops the taste that “is what it used to be”.

St. Pete Locally Grown Market Calendar REVISED – Important Read
Valued Customers:
Our Market Calendar has been revised to change dates that St. Pete Locally Grown Market will be open for end of year holidays. Here is the
Revised Calendar which you can always access via a link from the Weblog page. I suggest you save it as a Favorite.
The calendar timeframe is now different in the weeks of October 12th through November 13th. They are now the opposite of what they were on the old calendar. In other words, the weeks that were open for that timeframe are now closed and vice versa.
Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for being flexible!
Best,
Tina, YOUR Market Manager
