About Us

The name Chantecler comes from the English "Canterbury Tales" and was one of the main characters in the book. It is also the national chicken of Canada. Here on our farm we raise 4 breeds of heritage birds. Farm fresh eggs are always available and make up many of our sumptuous breakfasts including Dave's famous smoked salmon eggs benedict!
