Free Range & Organic Chickens, Turkeys, Geese & Ducks

Organic Chickens

Day old chicks are reared indoors for about 3 weeks, after this they are introduced gradually to outdoor life and spend the next 2 months free range on organic pasture. They are housed at night  in small groups of less than 200 birds. They are aged at least 3 months old before they reach your plate, this produces larger, better tasting chickens than the average supermarket birds. All chickens are now slaughtered and butchered on farm, reducing food miles. See our Organic Chicken page for a price list and more information.

Laying Hens

Our organic eggs are produced from Silver link/Bovans Nera (brown eggs) and White Leghorn (white eggs). Organic hens are bought at about 18 weeks old, we then keep them for 3-4 years in groups of 120 birds, they are totally free range during the day and are locked up at night to protect from foxes. They are fed on an organic layer pellet plus whatever they can find from foraging. When they are finished laying we slaughter the birds on farm and sell them in the shop/markets for soup making or casseroles - a very cheap alternative to organic roast chicken.

See our organic eggs page for more information.

Organic Ducks
Organic ducks are reared for Christmas, after they grow their feathers they are kept outside on grass and have their own pond, they are at least 10 weeks old before being slaughtered on farm.
We may rear another group of ducks in spring if there is enough customer demand.

Organic Turkeys

We have a mix of Norfolk Blacks and Bronze and a range of ages to hopefully produce a range of different sizes for you at Christmas. Birds are dry plucked and hung for 2 weeks to improve the flavour.

Free Range Geese

We produce free range Geese for Christmas, a popular choice they sell out every year.
