Description
xGreat Taste 2023 1 Star. Herb Fed - For a bird with Taste. Our award winning free range Herb Fed whole chickens are full of flavour and succulence - ideal for a family Roast. Feeds 5-7 people.
Well known and loved, Herb Fed Poultry are raised by Emma and Edward Wilkinson 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.
Herb Fed chickens are exceptionally special not only because they are slow grown and reared in small flocks, but they are also fed on a unique diet of fresh herbs. We are the country's first and only producers of Herb Fed Poultry. Our birds fresh herb diet are the excess trimmings or herbs from another local farm that have simply gone past their best and would otherwise end up on a compost heap. By using this waste, we are not only contributing to our bird's quality of life, but doing so in a way which is sustainable and environmentally friendly. 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 diet supplied by a local mill. The unique herb diet 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!
