“A bird bred on a unique diet of fresh herbs is a delicious, textured bird with taste.”
Aunty A’s Herbs
This discovery, made just over fifteen years ago, made us the country's first - and still only - producers of Herb Fed Poultry. Years of refining how we rear and care for our birds have followed, and the awards along the way tell their own story.
Taste the award-winning difference.
Where the Herbs Come From
Our Yorkshire-grown herby goodness comes from Herbs Unlimited, a local family farm we are proud to collaborate with. Founded by Edwards’ aunt, Alison Dodd, and now run by her son Philip, Herbs Unlimited supplies the food industry with fresh herbs, salads, and edible flowers, including parsley, chives, dill, coriander, thyme, fennel, tarragon, chili, and marjoram.
Want Not, Waste Not
We are champions of sustainable farming, making us (and our flocks!) grateful receivers of any of Philip’s herbs. It is the excess trimmings or herbs that have simply gone past their best and would otherwise end up on a compost heap that are lovingly repurposed to feed our birds. By using this waste, we are not only contributing to our bird’s quality of life but also supporting environmentally responsible farming, reducing waste and making every herb count.
Herb Fed Trademark
Pecking through a variety of herbs keeps our birds stimulated, engaged, and happy, key to their overall welfare.
The herbs are nutrient-rich, and the variety means our birds are introduced to important additional minerals and vitamins, alongside their additive and hormone free cereal diets supplied by a local mill.
This coupled with our slow-growing ethos, allowing the meat and muscle to develop as it should, makes for our trademark taste and texture - surprisingly not herby, but exceptional!
