Our aim is to produce the finest possible free range bird for your table. Our system is based on old fashioned values of high animal welfare, traditional outdoor rearing and low food miles.

The birds are bought in as day olds and brooded in sheds for three weeks until they are hardy enough to go out. They are then transferred to field pens in groups of no more than 1000 with large grass paddocks.

The feeders and drinkers are outside to ensure that the birds spend as much time in the field as possible. Also our birds have 24hour access to the field. This activity increases the variety of food they eat which is the essence of a good free range chicken.

Another factor that makes our system unique is that we feed the birds our home milled food. All the wheat, peas, barley, oats and triticale are home grown on the farm. We do not use any antibiotics, growth promoters or GM products.

When the birds are ready around about 12 weeks old they are killed, plucked, hung, dressed and wrapped on the farm, therefore stress is kept to an absolute minimum and this, combined with a lack of travel is, we believe, reflected in the end product.

Since the end of 2006 we have also started to produce free range ducks which are extremely popular. We also have developed a cooked range of foods all cooked at home on the farm by ourselves, including pates, pies, scotch eggs, soups and stock.
