We have frozen chickens oven ready weighing from 3.5 lbs to 5+lbs. Call us to order and arrange collection. Our cockerels, turkeys and geese will be available fresh at Christmas.
Chickens grown to order
We buy day old chicks from different breeds to ensure a range of weights. They are reared organically, slaughtered on-farm and hung prior to dressing.
Our next batch of fresh chickens will be ready around Easter (24th April), we hope, otherwise we have frozen chickens which we can thaw for you if you wish. We also have a small number of our lovely frozen cockerels left, if you have a bigger gathering for Easter. Contact us to reserve one.

Organic Chickens and Cockerels
Our chickens and cockerels are reared to organic standards. They are brooded in small huts and once off heat, move from the brooding area, in their mobile huts to allow them access to our clover-rich organic pastures.
The birds are reared slowly, allowing flavour to develop. They are fed a cereal-based, Soil Association approved ration and supplement this from the pasture around them.
Our cockerels and chickens are all slaughtered individually on the farm, so reducing stress. We dry pluck the cockerels and finish plucking by hand. They are hung to improve in flavour and tenderness, before we dress them.
Oven-ready organic Christmas cockerels range from 6lbs to 12lbs in weight.
Our organic chickens weigh from 3.5lbs to 6lbs. We are likely to have oven-ready chickens in late April/May, September and November.
Organic Geese
Our organic geese are reared from day olds. When they are old enough, the geese are given access to the river, where they spend much of their time.
The geese forage most of their diet, but it is supplemented with homegrown oats and cereal-based pellets during the autumn to ensure they are ready for Christmas.
Our organic Christmas geese - oven-ready, weigh between 8lbs and 13lbs.
Organic Free-range Eggs
Our small flock of organic free range laying hens includes Columbian Blacktails, Bovan Nera, Leghorn, Araucana, Cream Legbar and bantams. We get eggs ranging in colour from dark brown, through magnolia and white, to blue and green. Many of our customers remark on the bright yellow yolks of our eggs, especially the blue/green eggs.
We occasionally have layers for sale. Call for details.
