A true delicacy awaits in these cornish hens. Often referred to as a Rock Hen or Game Hen, this member of the chicken family offers a lean and complex flavour of meat that can be served multiple ways. The experience of serving your guests a whole cornish hen for dinner is sure to impress!
Cornish Hens are raised in outdoor environments with full access to pasture. Raising hens in a sustainable and ethical manner is a key to the overall quality of the meat.
Harley Farms originated in East Kennett, England. Roger and Julie, together with our children James and Emily, used natural farming protocols to farm over 4,500 acres that included 2,500 breeding ewes and lambs, 1,000 head of fattening cattle, outdoor farrow to finish hogs, and also producing all our own winter supply of forage.
In 2000, we moved to Canada from the UK and in 2002 we purchased our present farms near Keene, Ontario where we started working on, and developing sustainability agricultural standards and protocols, that would work in Canada, to cover the sustainability of the environment, animal welfare and the financial well being of the farmer.
