This bundle needs a chest freezer. If you do not have one, the \u003cstrong\u003eNeighbor Split\u003c\/strong\u003e is the honest answer: two households, one box, eight birds and nine, divided in the parking lot, $270 each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it comes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bird whole and vacuum-sealed, one bird per bag, fresh and chilled at pickup.

Five dollars a bird on the fifteen you paid for — \u003cstrong\u003ethe included birds get parted at no charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e It applies to the whole bundle; one order cannot be split between whole and parted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParted orders have their own day.\u003c\/strong\u003e Parting is a separate job from harvest — about three and a half minutes a bird, which does not fit inside a processing day. So parted orders pick up at the farm on one parted day, posted with the harvest schedule. The downstate run is the exception: that load is packed before it leaves, so 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 cuts beyond the standard eight pieces, and no mixing whole and parted inside one bundle.\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.
