The Cost of Organic Everything is Going Up

March 11, 2022 Scott's Chicken Blog

Bell & Evans has been raising organic chickens on a diet of 100% U.S. organic grain feed since our organic program started in 2009. We never bought cheaper imported “organic” grains from other counties because I didn’t trust their authenticity.

February 2, 2022 Scott's Chicken Blog

Our “green box” organic, gluten-free nuggets and tenders are already very popular with health-conscious families because of the quality ingredients. We are always listening to customer feedback and heard your concerns about the soy allergen in the breading.

Creating the Supply We Demand – Increasing U.S. Organic Grain Access

February 9, 2021 Scott's Chicken Blog

Bell & Evans has been a premium chicken brand since the beginning, more than 125 years. When I bought the business from the previous family in the ‘80s, I was determined to take Bell & Evans to the next level.

Happy NEW Year from Bell & Evans!

January 4, 2021 Scott's Chicken Blog

Most of us are glad to leave 2020 behind and look forward to what 2021 may bring. Bell & Evans is no exception. We began construction last year on a new chicken harvesting facility, a project that was in the works for years.

Chicken – Always a Great Option!

November 16, 2020 Scott's Chicken Blog

This Thanksgiving will be different for most of us. Families dividing, hosting smaller gatherings. Other families, like mine, attending or hosting multiple smaller Thanksgivings to see and include everyone. Many are breaking from their usual traditions and that can be stressful.

What’s a Commodity? And Why We’re Not!

October 6, 2020 Scott's Chicken Blog

A commodity is an interchangeable good where brand name doesn’t matter because one is just like the other. Energy and metals are commodities, but so are livestock and grains. Commodity producers all follow similar practices so they can compete in price and market space.

Organic Chicken Explained

February 20, 2020 Scott's Chicken Blog

Do you know what “organic” chicken means? I find that most people – Buy organic chicken and think they know the differences (and are likely wrong), OR Buy organic chicken and hope it’s better for them without knowing the differences, OR Don’t buy organic chicken because they think “organic” is all marketing hype.

Blended Meat Products

October 7, 2019 Scott's Chicken Blog

Someone recently asked me for my thoughts on blended meat and plant protein products. I think this is a good topic to discuss because poultry producers are now introducing blended chicken products to the market.

Organic Meat in Styrofoam Packaging?

May 29, 2019 Scott's Chicken Blog

I recently met with our friends from Rodale Institute, the original promoters and leaders of organic farming. I love meeting and brainstorming with other forward-thinking individuals who care as much as I do about good, honest, healthy food.

Celebrating Our First Earth Day as Landfill Free!

April 22, 2019 Scott's Chicken Blog

At Bell & Evans, we make decisions based on common sense practices and what the right thing is to do. Where we see opportunities for improvement, we work to do better. Last year, we began conversations with Sustainable Waste Solutions in Souderton, PA, about becoming a landfill free business.

“Whole Breast Meat” Versus “All White Meat” Nuggets. Do You Know the Difference?

February 4, 2019 Scott's Chicken Blog

Bell & Evans chicken nuggets are made from 100% whole breast meat. That’s “whole” as in “one piece.” Picture buying fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts from your local grocery store. You take them home, cut each into four to six pieces and then bread them to make for dinner.

Signing the High Performance Farms Initiative at the 103rd Pennsylvania Farm Show

January 15, 2019 Scott's Chicken Blog

I’ve been waiting for this day to come for months! On Friday morning, at the 103rd Pennsylvania Farm Show, I, along with several other public and non-government partners, had the pleasure of signing the High Performance Farms Initiative.

The Significance of Our Oregano Oil Supplement

January 14, 2019 Scott's Chicken Blog

It was six years ago that the New York Times wrote a story about our use of oregano oil in chicken feed. Now that “oregano” has become a buzz word in the industry, I thought it would be helpful to explain why and how we use oregano oil in our feed and clarify the differences of our program compared to others.
