I’m looking for cage free or free range chicken. Can I find uncooked parts at Whole Foods?

We were in our local Whole Foods, in Colorado Springs this past weekend, and tasted the Thanksgiving samplers in the store.
It was absolutely delicious! My 7 year old daughter, who really isn’t a big fan of gravy on her mashed potatoes, loved your gravy.

How come this year you are not posting Thanksgiving Dinner packages. Last year, I ordered from you all and this year it seems a lot more difficult. Can you point me in the right direction.

@Myra Yes, we offer cage free and free range natural chickens in our Meat department – uncooked, whole or in parts.
