White Fence Farm was founded in 1973 by Charles Wilson. The original restaurant is located in Illinois, however, the owners of the original location allowed only one franchise, the farm located in Colorado. Until recently, this franchise was operated by the Wilson family. The main farm is located in Lakewood, Colorado, with a few restaurants also being operated in Chicago, Illinois.
The company bills itself as having the “World’s Best Fried Chicken.” Chicken is pressure cooked, then quick frozen, where it remains until it is flash fried when ordered. In addition to having a restaurant, the farm also has a gift shop, petting zoo, candy shop, and large banquet facilities. The petting zoo is open most of the year, along with a kid’s playground and tree house. Live entertainment is frequently offered on weekends, with room for dancing.
The restaurant sits on beautifully landscaped grounds with a large pond. Peacocks and ducks are frequently seen and old time photography, as well as animated chickens, keep visitors entertained.
In November of 2014, the farm was purchased for an undisclosed amount by P&C Family Farms, LLC. Company headquarters at this time are still located in Lakewood, Colorado.
