I can taste that the chicken is slow grown, but I can taste chicken manure. Something is not right about the processing. It is too bad because I like the product—I want you to do better with the cleaning. My next order has four chickens—I hope it’s better. I really want you to know because your chicken is better than other brands at Crowd Cow.

Taste the Heirloom Difference
Mary's Heirloom chicken stands out for its exceptional quality and taste, rooted in traditional farming practices. These chickens come from time-honored breeds, known for their robust health and longevity, which contribute to the superior flavor and texture of their meat. Unlike conventional chickens, heirloom breeds grow at a natural pace, allowing their muscles to develop fully and infusing the meat with a richer, more distinctive flavor. Raised in more humane, free-ranging environments, these chickens enjoy a natural diet, leading to a healthier and tastier product.
Air Chilled for Better Flavor
Mary’s chickens are cooled with a state of the art “Air Chill” system. Air Chill helps inhibit the spread of bacteria by keeping all of the chickens independent, and saves 30,000 gallons of chlorinated water every day! 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.
Supporting a Poultry Legacy
Across three generations, the Pitman family has embodied unwavering integrity and diligence in the poultry industry. The legacy began with Don Pitman, who meticulously raised turkeys, laying the foundation for a tradition of excellence. Carrying this heritage forward, Rick Pitman continued the family's poultry legacy, endearingly naming turkeys after his beloved wife, Mary Pitman. Today, David, Ben, and Mark, the sons of Rick and Mary Pitman, proudly sustain the family tradition, upholding values of quality and excellence passed down by their predecessors.
