| I make all my own broth - just always save the backs when you spatchcock a chicken or the carcass if you roast it whole and toss it in the freezer. When you have time (/space/inclination) make a big batch and freeze for use. |

| Call local butchers. Many have “spare” parts if you ask. |

| Just roast a chicken, eat the meat, and simmer the bones (etc) with herbs and salt. Easy peasy. |

| Whiffletree Farms in VA is great for this. They do drop offs at a designated house where we live (Bethesda) and you pick your order up from a cooler out front—I assume they offer this for all the DMV suburbs. They sell a chicken broth combo with backs and feet for $3/lb and other chicken parts as well. Quality is excellent. https://whiffletreefarmva.com/store/product/chicken-broth-pack |

I save the bones from the rotisserie chickens we use. I also save the ends of onions, carrot peels, and celery leftovers in the freezer to use along with the chicken bones. Here’s one recipe. https://natashaskitchen.com/chicken-stock-chicken-bone-broth/ I haven’t bought chicken broth in years. |

Why would you say that? I’ve found the meat at H-Mart to be excellent quality. |
