If yours comes in under 4 lb, a second bird goes in at no charge. You do not have to ask, and you do not get an apology instead of chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it comes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole, vacuum-sealed, fresh and chilled at pickup.

So parted orders pick up at the farm on one parted day, posted with the harvest schedule. One date, same for everybody. The downstate run is the exception: that trip is packed as one load before it leaves, so parting happens at load-out and a parted downstate order rides along on the regular date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat I don't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole or 8-piece parted — that is the entire menu. No deboning, no skinning, no ground chicken, no brining or smoking, no custom cuts beyond the standard eight pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis farm raises its own birds, runs its own line and drives its own route — a few named people, no contractor, no carrier. Every custom order is a pickup missed for somebody else, so you get the truth here instead of a disappointment in a parking lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou pay once, when you reserve.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing else ever comes due.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good Father Farms","offers":[{"title":"Whole","offer_id":44584454619249,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8-piece parted","offer_id":44584454652017,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.goodfatherfarmstc.com\/products\/the-first-bird","provider":"Good Father Farms LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
