If you don't know it already I'll share again just in case, we only buy and eat chicken raised by a Canadian chicken farmer that has the logo below on the packaging. If you're wondering why, there's oh so many reasons but I'll share just a few of them with you.Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe (3)

  • Canadian chicken is grain-fed, free of hormones and steroids.
  • Chicken with that logo on it follows a strict nationally-set, mandatory food safety and animal care standards.
  • We want to support Canadian small businesses and many Canadian chicken farms are family run and owned!

If your store doesn’t use the “Raised by a Canadian Farmer” brand, you can ask them to bring it in!Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe (4)
