Does anyone know of any local California farms (Southern, Central, or Northern) that sells really good chicken? I'm looking for a source of high quality chicken to serve at my restaurant. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Fulton Valley and Hoffman in Northern California are well generally regarded commercial producers. Fulton Valley is probably the better choice. http://www.fultonval...om/about_us.php

There is a farm, Rinconada Dairy http://www.rinconadadairy.com/ In Santa Margarita near San Luis Obispo, that raises and makes sheeps milk cheese, organically. They also have raised chickens, some good looking hens for Clark @ American Flatbread in Los Alamos. I don't think it's a regular endeavor but contact wouldn't hurt and, you may like the cheese for the restaurant.

Depending upon where you live in CA, you might want to check out the local Edible publication for your area. Producers like you're sourcing often advertise in it. Or at least they do in my area

Marin Sun produces superior chickens. http://www.marinsunf...estock/poultry/ as does Squab Producers http://www.squab.com...uct/poultry.htm, including the transplanted French Bresse blue-foot.
