We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Smok’d Meats to produce beyond organic chicken stock! Our friends at Smok’d are simmering some of our chicken backs along with a mix of veggies and seasonings to create a stock that you have to try. This rich stock is cooked down to offer an even more deep, rich flavor. You can cut it down with water or use it more concentrated, we’ll leave that for you to decide. This stock is sold ready to use and is made from beyond organic, pasture raised chickens to deliver only the highest quality product.
Why chicken stock
Consuming bone broths and stocks is a key to human health. This is not hyperbole, bones really do hold so many nutrients within them that we dearly need to thrive. Some of these nutrients are calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, just to name a few. Bone marrow contains vitamins A & K, iron,fatty acids, selenium, etc. All of the above listed nutrients and minerals can help reduce inflammation, control or stave off osteoporosis, or even aid in sleep and weight loss.
The problem is, if you haven’t noticed, it’s kind of difficult to ingest bones. Humans can’t chew and digest them the way some animals do and the modern American diet contains less and less meat with the bone still attached. This is where the magic of stocks and broths come in. By cooking down bones with a mix of vegetables and seasonings you concentrate all of these benefits into liquid form that can be consumed in so many ways.
How do I use this
At one point I remember thinking chicken stock is great but how do I use it? I knew that it could be used in soups and chicken and dumplings but that’s a pretty small list. Then I started playing around with stock, like using it instead of water to cook rice, make sauces (think alfredo, marinara, and curry sauces), and even steaming vegetables. Of course don’t forget making gravy. The uses of chicken stock are only limited by your imagination.
However you choose to use it, we really do recommend that you try a quart. At $8.00/qt we believe it is priced very affordably for the premium product that it is. We will have it every week at the Bartlett Farmers Market or you can always come by the farm, just give us a call at 901-340-2849.
