Smartchick Farms
Smart Chick are returning to the EAV market this week, they bring fresh eggs and chicken meat, they also produce pet-grade chicken food and are Non-GMO certified.
"After spending 17 years growing chickens commercially, we decided to sell our farm. Over the years we realized that there’s a lot of things that are wrong with the way America gets her food. Folks should know where their food comes from. With this in mind, we set out to grow chickens of the highest quality. We also decided that these chickens should be raised in the pasture with plenty of room to roam. We decided to never use anything that has GMOs, never give antibiotics or hormones. Our chickens are treated with love and care!"

Don't miss EAV very own personal chef Rose Bigelow this Thursday. Rosa has her own catering service RosaRose Catering, through which she has won the heart of many in the city.
