I like chicken. I like it fried, seared, bar-b-qued, roasted, and baked. I like it in salads and casseroles, and in dips and bakes. I don’t eat red meat so you get the picture…my family of five eats a lot of chicken. So when Stacie Haight Connerty of The Divine Miss Mommy told me about Zaycon Foods and their offer of 40lbs of fresh skinless chicken breasts for area bloggers I couldn’t reply “Yes!” fast enough! And, I’m so glad I did!
I picked up a box full of 40 lbs of top-quality chicken the first week in August. You could tell by looking at it that it was fresh, and even though it was one of the hottest days of the year, it smelled fresh ,too. And, it tasted so good! It reminded me of growing up in Wisconsin and eating corn on the cob that was picked within a few hours of putting it on the grill. You can just taste freshness.
Zaycon Foods is a direct farm to consumer private company founded to bring quality meat and other products direct to consumers at a wholesale rate. Their chicken is hormone-free, never frozen, and really, really fresh. (In fact, the Zaycon representative told me my box of chicken was clucking around a pen three days earlier. He said most grocery stores stock chicken parts that are 15 days old.) By selling only by the case and to a large group at once, they are able to harness a collective buying power and keep the costs low (about $1.45/lb). Here’s some more information on why Zaycon Foods is so unique:
