    Carefully farmed for quality and provenance

  • 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.

    Please be aware, this product may contain giblets that need to be removed prior to cooking.

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

  • Pastured means the birds live outdoors on grass, not just with outdoor access. The flock is moved daily, following a herd of cattle across the pasture to forage on insects and grass. This slow, active and natural life is what gives the meat its depth of flavour.

  • Yes. Free-range guarantees only outdoor access, which can mean a small or bare space. Pastured means the birds are actively moved onto fresh grass to forage, living far more naturally, feeding on grass and insects rather than relying on feed.

  • Yes. Rearing only in the warmer months removes the need for high-protein feed, so the birds are raised in a completely soy-free, low-input system, in line with our aim to farm in harmony with nature.
