Are Amish farms good places to buy chickens?

Amish farms can be a good place to buy chickens for those who care about how the animals are hatched and raised. On traditional Amish farms chickens are raised naturally and given no growth hormones as is the case with many modern farms.

Additionally chicken grown on Amish farms are not force fed, but are instead allowed to eat at their own pace. This results in a chicken with less fat and more tender, lean meat. Chickens raised on these types of farms are allowed more open space to grow and provided with clean, fresh air and water, resulting in a healthier bird.
