Our Birds

Our Birds

Premium Free-Range Poultry Raised with Exceptional Welfare Standards

Our traditionally raised birds are nurtured to the highest welfare standards, ensuring ethical and responsible farming practices. By allowing our poultry to grow slowly and naturally on our carefully managed land, we enhance both the texture and rich, distinctive flavour that discerning customers love.

Natural Growth Process for Superior Poultry Quality

Unlike intensive farming methods, our birds mature at a natural pace, which improves meat quality and provides a more satisfying eating experience. This slow growth allows their muscles to develop fully, resulting in tender, flavoursome poultry with a depth of taste that stands out.

Locally Sourced Herbs to Enhance Free-Range Bird Diets

Our free-range birds benefit from a diverse diet enriched with over 10 varieties of fresh, locally grown herbs every week. Edward’s Aunty Alison and cousin Philip cultivate these delicious herbs on their farm in Sand Hutton, just a stone’s throw from our land. This herb variety supplements the birds’ balanced, additive-free cereal diet, carefully sourced from a trusted local mill.

Healthy and Happy Poultry with Additive-Free Nutrition

By combining a natural, slow-growth approach with a nutritious, herb-infused diet free from additives, we ensure our poultry remains healthy and happy throughout their development.

Free-Range Birds Raised with Family Care

Our birds are part of our family and enjoy true free-range living, with plenty of space to roam and forage naturally.

Natural Foraging and Freedom to Roam

Allowed to follow their instincts, our birds live in small flocks, happily exploring the outdoors during the day.

Hand-Bedded Comfort and Safe Night-Time Shelter

We hand-bed their housing daily, with birds only kept indoors at night for protection from predators like Mr Fox.

Multi Award-Winning, Free-Range Poultry

The main principle we work by is a happy bird is a healthy bird and a tasty bird to top, it’s due to these high husbandry practices that makes for our unique and quality poultry produce.

Chickens

Well known and loved, our home-grown chickens are raised on beautiful Yorkshire pastures. Their free-range living means they can peck away at the delicious grass, insects, herbs and cereals all day long and nestle down in their beds of straw in our small-flock huts by night.

free range turkeys

Turkeys

Day old poults arrive on the farm and are kept under heat lamps which are gradually turned down until the bird is fully feathered.

At this stage they can venture into their new homes in the field and from six weeks handmade racks are placed our for them to enjoy a delicious mix of herbs such as parsley, coriander, thyme, fennel and marjoram all in time for a tasty Bronze gobble by Christmas

Roosters

Our Christmas Rooster are a special addition to the farm, produced just once a year for a tasty festive bird. Similar to our turkeys, they enjoy wide ranging pastures and a herb fed diet courtesy of us.
