Springfield, Vermont
Knowing that discerning chefs are not satisfied with the size of most commercially raised quail, Cavendish Game Birds of Springfield, Vermont spent years selectively breeding Coturnix quail to develop a meatier bird – up to 25% larger than commercial quail. These jumbo quail are more substantial in size and have a well-developed finish – streaks of fat under the skin that help maintain flavor and keep the birds moist and tender while cooking. Cavendish quail are outstanding and served in many fine restaurants.
