Looking for organic live poultry market in New York

The only live poultry market I know lf is in Inwood (I don't think it's organic). I know there used to be one in C-town, but I don't think it's there anymore. Do these exist around here?

    You might want to do a search of this site. There was a similar thread and I posted another shop, address there. I think it was near Chinatown so I hope it's still around. Not sure if it's organic.

    I know of an organic farm Upstate but it's a co-op, so you have to know one of the members to get the chickens, etc.

      I haven't seen the Chinatown market in years. I remember it well.

      There's La Granja near Columbia University http://www.nysun.com/article/61938 I dont know if it is organic. There are some in the Bronx, including Cross Bronx Live Poultry (718) 731-0976 1663 Jerome Ave and Rick's Chicks Live Poultry (718) 665-3525 690 Southern Blvd, They are called vivero in Spanish so you might find more on Google using that word.
