Whole White Pheasant - 2.5-4 lb, by Joyce Farms, USA. Joyce Farms' White Pheasant has been bred over the last 30 years to be the ideal for eating. Most American pheasants are bred and grown for hunting since they are selected to be fast, flighty, and challenging to hunt. As a result, most pheasants are small, tough, and not ideal for eating. However, this white pheasant breed was selected to meet the demands of the most discriminating chefs and consistently offer a great dining experience. While game birds are not required to be processed under USDA inspection, Joyce Farms insists that all of their game birds are processed in their own USDA approved plant under a strict food safety and HACCP program. These pheasants are raised carefully on small family farms to deliver exceptional flavor without being too gamey, and a luxuriously firm texture without being too tough. This is a great bird for roasting. This Heritage breed from France is slow grown & air-chilled, with the pheasants raised on small family farms in the US. No antibiotics, hormones, growth stimulants, or animal by-products are used in their production.
