THE WINGS ARE WHERE IT ALL STARTED

AN IDEA WAS HATCHED

It's all about the wings and it has been from day one! Did y'all know the farm was started because of chicken wings? Yep, in this story the chicken came before the...farm. In 2018 the name Chicken and the Farm came to mind and the owners, Lyndsey and Brett were off to the races or shall we say the coop! The idea was to start with the chickens and then bring in the whole gang... the pigs, the cows, the fresh seasonal vegetables and make a delicious menu filled with "farm food for humans!" What started with a 10x10 booth and living dangerously with a couple of top fryers for a small one-day festival turned into in a 10x30 booth with over 30 items on the menu and over 20 flavors for the chicken wings and cauliflower. Our now industrial deep fat fryers (thank goodness) cook over 300 pounds of chicken in a weekend, and we serve our eats at some of the largest festivals in the California Bay Area.

Now in 2023, were movin' on up! We will now offer catering for private events and our biggest announcement; Chicken and the farm has found the most perfect little spot! The farm is excited to announce the opening of our first eatery and gourmet market. We will first offer online ordering and customer pick up starting in June. And then opening late Summer Early Fall of this year the eatery will be open for eat in and take away. We will also have an assortment of preprepared items for grab and go as well as specialty culinary items, home goods, fresh florals, local seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as a rotating menu. We are so excited about this opportunity and to say it feels "meant to be" would almost be an understatement. There is a very personal attachment already to the building. When Lyndsey was growing up, she often frequented the La Rossa market with her dad for roast beef sandwiches and ice cream. And here's a fun fact, Rodger, Lyndsey's Dad had a friend whose mother owned a hair salon in the lower downstairs building, and when Lyndsey was born on the way home from the hospital they stopped by, and baby Lyndsey was shown off to all the gals in the salon! That building will now be Chicken and the farms' location.

The La Rossa Market in the Saranap neighborhood of Walnut Creek is a staple to many in the community. It is our goal to preserve the feel and charm of a small-town neighborhood market. We have lots of ideas on what we desire to bring to the area and hope you will follow along with us on our next journey. Until the market is open, please check out our festival lineup under the Find the Farm tab. There you can see where we will be every weekend March- October. We look forward to seeing y'all!

OUR TEAM

The guy who fry's

Brett fries over 300 pounds of chicken in a weekend and that's not counting all the other items he drops down into the fryer. With the help of his wife, Lyndsey, every detail is thought out from the quirky names on the menu to the perfect flavors being concocted and truly what matters most, the perfect crisp to those delicious wings. He is very passionate about serving food that not only tastes great but visually is just as satisfying. If you've ever chatted with him while waiting for your order you already know this about him. He loves meeting our customers so don't hesitate to wave a wing at him and give props to the Chef!

He does a lot more than just cook when he's on the Farm y'all just don't get to see that part.

The owner's of the Farm

The one's who started it all! A fun fact to know about the Farm is that this whole wing thing started because Lyndsey loved a particular flavor chicken wing from a restaurant that had closed its doors. She never stopped thinking about how much she loved those wings until she met Brett, found out he loved to cook and decided to see if he was up for the challenge in making them. Well, he did, and he made them even better! Growing up people always told Brett how amazing his cooking was followed by "you should open a restaurant" but he never pursued his passion. That is until Lyndsey came along of course and one day while driving together looked over at Brett and said "Chicken and the Farm!" and it just felt right. They came up with 6 flavors for wings, signed up for a few festivals and the Farm was born!

The Farm Team

The Farm has grown quite a bit since we first hatched in 2018. Originally, we were a tiny team of 3! Brett cooked, Lyndsey sauced and Atash, Lyndsey's best friend took all the orders. When we started to grow, we knew we were going to have to beef up the roster. We have had some great employees and we are so lucky to have them all on the Farm! They are always going the extra mile with smiling faces even when it's hotter than a burning haystack outside! Not to forget all while in that little 10-foot by 20-foot space! It's seriously impressive the amount of food they crank out for all the hungry farmers in that tiny kitchen. We are so appreciative of our team and all they do.
