Local chicken is where it's at!
Here, at The Homestead, we care.
We care about quality. We care about our community. 
We care about you.

That is why we are so happy to be partnered with New Sharon's Pine Tree Poultry.
We love that we have increasingly offered more and more dishes that feature local chicken, and we look forward to continue to do so in the future!

Our Brick Chicken is one of these excellent dishes, and we are excited to share with you its preparation in this week's video.
