You are correct, farm raised fowl taste different than store bought fowl...Even the texture of the meat is better. Our farm raised meat chickens my husband would sell at work and once tasted, they would buy more..

I think store chickens are soaked in water to add to the weigh but also effects the taste and texture and sell for less than buying farm raised...but I would only buy farm chickens from someone I knew. We didn't use hormones either in our chickens..

I sure do miss having a farm...

That is the biggest difference. Once people taste what a real turkey tastes like, they never go back.
