Description
Our Stewing Hens are amazing! So full of flavor, thick layers of fat under the already fatty skin. These layers lived a good live free-ranging inside a large grassy area protected from predators by electric fence. Stewing hens come plucked, cleaned, frozen and whole. You can simply throw them in a crockpot, stew pot, or InstaPot to make the richest, fattiest chicken broth ever.
We recommend removing the skin and as much fat as you can shave off to render for schmaltz (the chicken equivalent of lard), and enjoy the fried skins as "chicken rinds" (the chicken equivalent of pork rinds). The remaining hen can be stewed and will still result in an extremely rich and fatty broth, because laying hens have a LOT of fat to keep their eggs warm.
The stewing hens are a very limited supply item, and a delicacy that we are excited to share with our customers. They weigh an average of 2 lbs each, and will price out between $12 and $25 each. If you would like one, please email us at aguilasofamery@gmail.com, and we will prepare an invoice and set up a pickup time and location with you.

Granja Las Aguilas offers eggs, meat chickens, lamb, strawberries, and a selection of veggies. We occasionally do street or event popups - follow our socials to get word on the latest popup sale. You can also pre-order online here and pick a location/date to pick up your order.
In 2026, starting May 16 through October 31, we will be on at the Southwest Market weekly. Each Saturday, SW Market takes place from 8:30am sharp to 1pm in the parking lot of Mount Olivet Church on 50th and Knox in far south Minneapolis.
We use organic methods and certified organic inputs (e.g. fertilizer, animal feed, etc), but Granja Las Aguilas is not currently certified organic. We (Silvano and Gina) have between us over a decade of experience in organic agriculture.
Other environmental practices:
- We protect our nearby waterways from livestock with a large setback (distance) and high-tensile fence that separates our pastures from the wetlands bordering our farm. We see dozens of varieties of birds and other creatures gracing our wetlands! Please contact us to visit for photography and general relaxation.
- We practice rotational and managed grazing for the health of our soil and animals.
- We have lots of milkweed and "weeds" beneficial to pollinators and insects, that we try to let stand whenever possible. Even the stand of milkweed that stubbornly inhabits the garden!
- We are constantly learning about new methods in regenerative agriculture, and how we can improve our processes.
Please follow our socials for updates!
