Founded by sixth-generation poultry farmer Mike Charles, LaBelle Patrimoine raises and produces an exclusive French heritage-breed chicken through small family farms in Central Pennsylvania. Its birds grow up to twice as long as conventional chickens, roam pasture daily, and are air-chilled for a product the company describes as “beautiful heritage.” LaBelle Patrimoine also produces organic pasture-raised eggs and specialty chicken products, and its chicken is G.A.P. Step 4 certified.

Murray’s ChickenFounded by Murray Bresky in 1992, Murray’s Chicken raises and processes fresh poultry through a network of small family farms in Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Catskill Mountain region. The family-owned company built its identity around locally grown chicken that is never given antibiotics, is vegetarian-fed, and was among the first in the industry to carry the Certified Humane label. Murray’s also offers a Non-GMO Project Verified line and makes retail products to order, often shipping them within 24 hours of processing.SO FALLSBURG, NY
