Downtown Goshen

Membership Spotlight! 🌟 Miller Amish Country Poultry is a local "egg to table" poultry farm that has been family-owned since 1974! Their chickens are hatched, grown, and processed in the Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan area. Their home-grown chickens are fed a corn- and soy-based diet with no antibiotics, no artificial ingredients or coloring, and no hormones diet made locally at their feed mill in New Paris, Indiana. Their goal is to provide the freshest and healthiest chicken available to you! If you're looking for a new alternative to your home-cooked meals, choose an air-chilled or organic option from Miller Poultry! 🐣
