I buy the Springer Mountain Chicken at Publix ... It's in the meat section but goes fast. I like it because there are no antibiotics, no hormones, no added anything!
Once in a while it goes on sale for buy one get one. I have also signed up on Springer Mountain web site and they send you coupons.

I also like to go to Billy's Meat Market in Groveland (a little ride). It's a small place, looks like a hole in the wall, but chicken has no hormones etc. Tastes great!!
Hope this helps

But yeah, the chicken isn't nearly as good as Wegmans.
The beef is even worse. No flavor at all compared to up north.

Chicken, beef, bread, pizza, it's all sub-par down here compared to up north. Makes me wonder how I have gained so much weight in the 4 months I've been here!

We have bought chicken at Publix and it was awful! The texture was rubbery and very grainy. Couldn’t even eat it.

We found some at Winn-Dixie that was a little better, but still nothing like Wegmans.

Does anyone have experience with buying good chicken here in Florida? Even if we travel outside of TV once in a while and stock the freezer up (we used to do that up north).

I used to buy all my chicken at Wegmans and Whole Foods. Wegmans brand in the hard plastic was Bell & Evan’s which is air chilled. Unfortunately you won’t find it in the villages.

What I have found is Springer brand and Fresh Market (at the meat counter) are very good. Sometimes Publix will sometimes run a sale on Springer brand.

I’ve had this concern for the last few years. Yes everyone told us ALDIs and fresh market. We took that advise and it was a huge disappointment. We like Costcos frozen individual chicken breast. We also like sams organic chicken breast . They come in a two pack for a total of four breasts.

Wegmans is such a terrific grocery store. Here in TV, I get excellent chicken at Fresh Market. It regularly is on offer one day of the week and I stock up. Perhaps get on their member list. Good luck.

Go to Fresh Market on Tuesdays. Chicken breasts and ground beef are on sale.

We are also used to shopping at Wegman's and Giant Eagle, etc. We purchase our chicken breast at Sam's Club - clean them, individually wrap them and freeze....very good and great price! Easy to stock up!
