      • Our Pastured Chicken is reared for us by a small-scale, family farm using a fully pastured raising system which encourages natural foraging behaviour. The flock is moved daily, following the farm's herd of cattle out on the pasture. The chickens fertilise the soil with their droppings and help to minimise fly and worm burdens on the cattle by scratching around in dung pats, eating insects and larvae; this mimics a natural grassland system as large flocks of birds follow the herds of grazing ruminants.

        This incredibly active life, foraging and feasting on pasture alone results in the most flavourful, succulent chicken you will ever taste. 

        Our Pastured Chicken is a seasonal product. Rearing the flock only during the warm summer months, when there are significantly fewer physical challenges and subsequently less need to use a high-protein feed, enables these chickens to be reared within a low-input, completely soy-free system. In alignment with our mission to farm in harmony with nature, our Pastured Chickens are reared slowly, for up to 13 weeks. 

        As a result of our commitment to farming in harmony with nature, weights are not absolutely precise.
