In order to help defray your cost of shipping, we have incorporated shipping discounts for many of our finer ingredients. These ingredients are noted on the web site and the discounts will be automatically calculated when the ingredient is added to your cart. These discounts are cumalitive, so you could end up with very low or no shipping charges. (dependant on your location)

The best part is that you might as well add that extra pound of mushrooms, a bottle of truffle oil, some pasta or your favorite "pantry staples" because the shipping costs may not even change!

Artisan/History/Story

This farmer knows birds! Raising utility pigeons dating back to World War I, they became the "experts" on pigeons, publishing three books. Through the years the fascination of pigeons expanded to other birds, including these poussins. This pigeon farm is a piece of history in a quaint Southern town. They have remained dedicated to humane growing and breeding. Their birds are raised in a stress-free, social environment and dine on an all vegetable diet with spring water. Palmetto pigeon farm is dedicated to raising an assortment of specialty poultry for your table.

Recipe Ideas

A simple rub with olive oil, sea salt (such as Maldon) pepper and perhaps a sprig of rosemary under the skin or tucked in the cavity, followed by a visit to a 400 degree oven will make for a delicious and tender roasted poussin. Serve with roasted root vegetables in cooler months or a fresh chilled summer soup and cous cous salad in the dog days of summer.
