Farm To Freezer

The scarier part is that people are excited about it??!! 🤢

This is exactly why I will continue raising chickens in my backyard, teaching my kids where food comes from, and filling my freezer with meat I raised myself.

Call me old-fashioned. 😂

What are your thoughts on lab-grown meat?

I am not here to waste your time, which is why I share content that actually helps you raise and process your own food instead of just dreaming about it.

Here are 3 things you can expect from following me:

• Real backyard meat bird systems that actually work
• Honest lessons from 12+ years of doing this ourselves
• Practical tips that save you time, money, and frustration

Glad you’re hereeeee!

Now tell me, what are you here to learn?

One of the most common messages I get is:

“I want to raise meat birds, but I don’t have help for processing day.”

And I get it.

People picture processing day as needing 8 people, multiple tables, and a huge operation. And not gonna lie, that’s kind of what we show. Because that’s how we do it. (We raise 200 birds a year for 15 people).

But last year my husband and I processed 20 birds completely by ourselves.

And the difference wasn’t manpower.

It was workflow.

We worked in smaller batches.
We stayed on top of each step.
And we knew exactly what came next.

That’s what keeps processing day from feeling overwhelming.

Not more people.

A better system.

If you’ve been putting this lifestyle off because you think you need a huge crew, you probably need less help than you think.

Comment CHICKENS101 if you want to learn the exact workflow we teach inside Farm to Freezer.

Every year there comes a moment when I stop seeing chicks…

and start seeing a freezer full of meals.

These birds are 5 weeks old now.

The timeline moves fast, but that’s the beauty of meat birds.

A few short weeks can change how you feed your family for the next year!

If you think you didn’t need a plucker for processing day…
here’s your sign 😅

Because I would never recommend that you waste time plucking by hand

And technically?
Yes, you can do it.

But after a few birds your hands hurt.
You’re exhausted.
Feathers are everywhere.
And processing day starts dragging on FOREVER.

That’s the difference people don’t realize.

Could you process without equipment? Sure.

But if your goal is to make this a lifestyle you repeat year after year?

Efficiency matters.

A plucker doesn’t just save time.
It saves energy.
It keeps the workflow moving.
And honestly, it makes processing day way less overwhelming.

That’s why I’ll always say:
proper equipment is what makes this lifestyle sustainable.

And once you use one… you’ll never go back 😅
