Pasture-Raised Whole Chicken
Enjoy the rich, natural flavour of a pasture-raised whole chicken – generous in size and taste, raised outdoors where fresh air, lush pasture, and tasty bugs make for happy, healthy birds. At around 2.4kg each, these chickens are bigger than average, giving you more tender meat for roasts, family meals, or hearty batch cooking.
Pasture-Raised Chicken from a Like-Minded Neighbouring Farm
While this chicken isn’t raised on our farm, it comes from a neighbouring farm that shares our regenerative farming philosophy – caring for animals, building soil health, and protecting biodiversity.
How These Chickens Are Raised
Our neighbours keep their birds in the safety of mobile pasture shelters (“chicken tractors”). These are moved daily to fresh pasture, so on top of their basic nutrition the chickens enjoy a natural diet of grass, greens, and insects, while staying safe from predators and harsh weather.

Cooking Tip for Pasture-Raised Chicken
For the juiciest results, roast slowly at a moderate temperature to let the natural flavour shine. Save the bones for a rich, nourishing homemade stock. This stock would be delicious to braise rabbit too!
