Our on-farm, Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School-trained Chef Reid Harrison says: "I like guinea, because they say you are what you eat and these are some smart resourceful birds! They have a great flavor and are beautiful with their purpled-hued skin. When it’s all said and done, if I could only have guinea instead of chicken, I wouldn’t complain a bit".
