The Word on Our Birds

LaFrieda is proud to partner with Bell & Evans, a leader in premium American poultry. Their renowned air-chilled chicken program ensures no retained or added water, resulting in tender, flavorful birds chefs can count on.

Raised humanely in low-stress environments, Bell & Evans chickens follow an all-vegetarian diet and are never given antibiotics or added hormones. We receive their fresh chicken nightly, so our restaurants get the best product delivered the very next day.

In addition to chicken, we supply a wide variety of game birds from Pennsylvania farms, including organic and specialty breeds such as extra-large quail. These birds are raised in enriched barns with the ability to free-range naturally, and they are always free from added ingredients, preservatives, or injections.

Our duck program features Bell & Evans duck as well as fresh selections from small farm growers, including Mallards and premium foie gras. Every duck is raised without hormones or artificial growth stimulants, ensuring consistent quality and exceptional flavor.
