How Windy Meadows Raises Their Chickens
Pasture rotation is central to how the Hale family raises poultry at Windy Meadows Family Farm. Their mobile shelters are moved regularly, giving the birds access to fresh ground where they can move and forage outdoors.
The chickens receive non GMO, soy free supplemental feed and are raised without antibiotics. Processing takes place on the farm in their USDA inspected facility, allowing the family to remain closely involved throughout the process.
What Does Country Style Sausage Mean?
Country style sausage is built around familiar savory seasoning rather than a heavily spiced or specialty flavor profile.
That makes these links especially versatile at the family table. They fit naturally alongside eggs and potatoes at breakfast but work just as easily with vegetables, grains and other simple dinner sides.
How to Cook Chicken Sausage Links
These sausage links are raw and should be cooked completely before serving. Moderate heat helps the links brown while keeping the chicken moist.
- Skillet: Brown gently over medium heat, turning regularly until fully cooked.
- Oven: Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until browned and cooked through.
- Grill: Cook over moderate heat and turn regularly to prevent the outside from browning too quickly.
Ground poultry should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
Easy Meal Ideas
These links can move easily from breakfast into lunch or dinner, which makes them a useful item to keep in the freezer.
- Sausage links with eggs and roasted potatoes
- Breakfast plates with fruit and sourdough toast
- Sheet pan sausage with seasonal vegetables
- Sliced sausage with peppers and onions
- Sausage with roasted sweet potatoes
- Simple sausage and vegetable skillet meals
- Sliced links added to soups or hearty grain bowls
Sausage Links vs. Bulk Sausage
Links offer built in portions and require almost no preparation. Simply cook and serve them whole or slice them after cooking for another meal.
Bulk sausage offers more flexibility for crumbling into dishes, while links are especially convenient when you want an easy breakfast protein or a simple centerpiece for dinner.
Storage & Handling
Keep the sausage links refrigerated or frozen according to the package instructions. Thaw frozen sausage in the refrigerator and follow normal food safety practices when handling raw poultry.
Refrigerate cooked links promptly and store leftovers properly for future meals.
Windy Meadows Family Farm
What began in 2001 as one family's desire to enjoy truly good chicken again grew into something much bigger.
Mike and Connie Hale built Windy Meadows alongside their eight children on 42 acres in East Texas. Over the years, many of those children have returned to the farm as adults, helping care for the birds, manage processing, serve customers, and carry the family's work into the next generation.
Their chickens are moved to fresh pasture every day, giving them new ground to forage while receiving carefully sourced non GMO feed. Processing takes place right on the farm in their USDA inspected facility, allowing the Hale family to remain closely involved from pasture to finished product.
For us, Windy Meadows represents what local food is supposed to feel like: a real family, deeply connected to their land and taking responsibility for the food they raise for other families.
