Dressed Balls

Remember our stress balls? And the early egg drops?

That first batch of hatch, of our improved Sunshines were dressed and sold out fast :)

That hatch was a trial and even the raising was a "go see". Well, they lived up to make a debut at AFEX 2008.

All gone....watch out for new harvests.

Another FREE SEMINAR At AFEX 2008

Due to the attendance and interest that yesterday's seminar got ( considering it was a Wednesday), the organizers have set us again for another seminar.

WHEN: September 6, 4pm, Saturday
WHERE: Activity Area, AFEX 2008, World Trade Center
WHAT: Benefits Of Raising Grass Fed Sunshine Chickens

See us at Asian Food Expo 2008 :)

1st Philippine International Flora & Fauna

When we were invited to participate for the July 18-20 show, I was also very busy planning for our scheduled Cebu Food Expo, as they were just a week apart.

I looked forward to this event as it meant seeing friends in the industry everyday....but I ended up seeing friends and co workers from like 30yrs ago :)

The show went well, the organizers were on their toes from ingress to end, making sure we were all OK. I have to credit ICE, Inc for that.

The show was very successful for us. Got across to our target markets, and were able to educated consumers on having Sunshine in their lives.

Healthworld Expo 2008

October 2-4, SMX Convention Center, will have the Healthworld Expo 2008.

We will be joining this exhibit, incorporating Beauty, Health Care and Medical Tourism. It coincides with the Millionaire Show, a lifestyle expo.

Seminars and product discussions on the benefits of grass fed chickens will be presented.

Excited to take part in a different kind of trade show, a step higher, another level. It is a notch nearer to fuse our goals.

Hainanese Chicken Rice

We had this at KK in Cebu City. One grower there, St. Mary's Farm, supplies KK with the Sunshines, so we tried the recipe.

Being at Market at the Hills, I enjoy listening to wives and husbands interact and exchange recipes. One of the often discussed is Hainanese Chicken Rice. It must be trendy, basing from all the talk about it :) Trendy or heirloom...it is good!

One of my repeat customers for dressed Sunshines is a gentleman who asked me today if I had a recipe for the white chicken..."was that the Hainanese"? He replied yes. Too bad, none of the recipe groups were there to give light. He went off for a while to get some cash for me. I did a quick search to gift him when he comes back....

I got to this link as #1 on the search...recipe for Hainanese Chicken. Never tried this recipe, but it looks simple and you can almost taste and smell while reading it.

Why did I decide to blog about something I haven't tried?

Five minutes ago, I get a call from a restaurant specializing in Asian food, inquiring specifically about 90day old grass fed Sunshines. Out of the blue I asked if it was for Hainanese Chicken Rice...

You guessed right.

FREE SEMINAR Raising Sunshine Chicken

When: July 6,2008, 9am
Where: AANI Herbal Garden and Livelihood Center, Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City

If you want to learn about the benefits of eating free range, grass fed chickens and how to raise them for backyard and commercial benefits, come and join us for the FREE SEMINAR.

See you :)

Table Eggs Production

After the "can we breed questions", another frequently asked question is do you need males in a flock of females kept for table egg production.

No, you don't need roosters in your free ranging layers :) They eat a lot and are noisy!

Healthy pullets start laying at 5-6 months. That is standard. Enjoy the hide and seek game when you pick up their eggs on the range.

They have dark orange colored yolks, no fishy taste nor smell. I am able to take them raw :) You get great tasting eggs from grass fed hens. Perfect for my leche flan.

At 60days, dress your male Sunshines for meat and keep the females for your grass fed layers.

Philippine International Flora & Fauna Expo 2008

July 18-20, World Trade Center in Pasay City, sees action for the Philippine International Flora & Fauna Expo 2008.

We will be at two (2) locations. Indoor at booth 81, and outdoor retail with the AANI group.

Of course, our Sunshine growers are open to use our booth for marketing their produce :)

Seminar on Raising Sunshine Chickens, had been scheduled for July 20 at 5pm.

My Sunshines

Today was the first time I was able to visit our small bukid for a very long time.

Good timing as I witnessed transfer to a fresh range! The old range where they came from is now bald and an egg drop they got last week prompted them to make a new range for the future grass fed layers.


When friends ask me now, I may be able to show off eggs from my very own Sunshines.

Farmer TJ's Sunshine Rangers :)

Pleasant surprise when I opened my mail today when I got these pics from Farmer TJ

21 APRIL 2007

The hatching eggs have arrived and are now in the incubators.

Excited!

Taste

Have you ever had real chicken? The way it was before the dawn of the quick growing white chickens?

If you did answer "YES", am sure you know what it means to eat good chicken meat.
