Seasonal poultry and rabbit
2026 Offerings
CHICKEN - In 2025, we had fresh chicken every Sunday at the Salem NH Farmer's Market. We plan our processing every week so we can make enough for the market and store up for the winter. We had some exciting changes in 2025. We continued to offer the standard plump and juicy Cornish Cross chicken and started breeding the American Bresse (a blue-footed chicken) with its amazingly succulent breast meat and a large dark full-flavor dark meat. Fresh chicken will continue in 2026 May through November.
DUCK - We now have a full flock of heritage duck, the Duclair, which we look forward to harvesting for sale in the Spring and Fall 2026. This heritage duck is essentially a sporty version of the domestic Pekin. Though slight in stature, this bird has a deeper flavor because it forages more.
TURKEY - We hope to offer pastured turkey again in 2026.
GEOOSE -If the Season of Love is a success, we'll have holiday goose to offer. Pray to the fertility gods!
RABBIT - Thanks to recent action by the NH State Legislature, there is new regulation that opens up the market for rabbit meat. We have expanded our rabbitry to include another French breed Blanc de Hotot. This rabbit is bred for flavor. We are excited to find out more!
WHERE TO SHOP - Step outside the box and try something new-ish or feast on the freshest and tastiest local chicken from Flying M. We process whole or parts and beak to feet so there's always something fresh. Visit us on the farm Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday (call ahead if you are traveling far to make sure we can meet your needs). Find Lee every Sunday at the Salem NH Farmers Market along with many other fabulous vendors. We discontinued our online store.
FEED - We continue to experiment with various fodder grains in our barnyard diet. The geese like to get the first graze and then the chickens or ducks devour the rest. The rabbits love it too. More as we learn.
For regular updates, please contact us directly or visit our social media pages. The Salem Farmers Market has a great website and social media page too.
Turkey for the holidays
Flying M Farm teamed up with Watterson Farm in Hampton Falls in 2025 to bring you a pasture-raised turkey. Chicks arrived in July at Flying M Farm. We raise them here for a few weeks before they head out to pasture. Contact Lee any time after August for seasonal availability.
