There are two ways to purchase products from our farm store
Fresh or Frozen
Fresh Chickens
K & M Farms has fresh chicken 4 times a year. They are ready for pick-up on specific days in June, July, September and October.
Customers normally pre-order chickens (by email our using the form above) and then come to the farm on the pick-up days.
Fresh Turkeys
Turkeys are available fresh for Thanksgiving. Growth rates can vary depending on the weather. We will make every effort to provide a bird within 2 pounds (plus or minus) of the weight requested.
Customer Pick-ups on the farm are done by appointment
Please do not come out to the farm without touching base with Farmer Mark or Farmer Jill to arrange a pick-up time. We are working on the farm most days. We need a scheduled pick-up time in order to plan our workday to accommodate customer pickups.
Thank you
Farmer Jill

Frozen Product by Appointment
Frozen products are available year-round as supplies last. We appreciate our customers coming out to buy our chicken and turkey in our farm store. We sell by appointment because we are only in the farm store between doing other chores on the farm. If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment please phone or text to let us know so we can arrange a new appointment time. We will be available for up to 15 mins after the arranged time. Email: kmfarms@shaw.ca or text / call farmer Jill (6043094902).
Group Buying Trips
We have noticed customer’s create informal buying groups to reduce carbon footprint. We can help facilitate large group pickups by filling all orders separately with a detailed receipt and by accepting e-transfers from participants. We can take the stress out of group buying.
Thawing Frozen Product
The safest way to thaw frozen raw chicken or turkey is immersion in cold water. Never defrost poultry at room temperature. Thawing your poultry at room temperature will allow bacteria to grow. Immersion in cold water means your poultry is fully submerged in cold water with something heavy on top to keep it submerged.
If you have a large picnic cooler it is ideal for thawing a turkey or roasting chicken. Place the turkey or chicken in the cooler. Fill with water and replace the lid. Leave roasting chickens from 12 to 24 hours depending on size and turkeys from 30 to 36 hours depending on size. The cooler keeps the water around the chicken or turkey at food safe temperature.
