Traditional Chicken
All of our small-flock Swaledale chicken is free range, born and raised on small independent poultry farms in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. In stark contrast to commercial chicken which is fast grown and often on the supermarket shelves within 4-6 weeks, our chickens are slow-grown, and allowed to reach maturity at their own pace.
Our farmers have a traditional and compassionate farming mentality, with the birds free to roam on established English pastures and raised to 81-days (full maturity). A high welfare and natural approach is at the heart of farming our birds, we expect the same standard for our chicken as with our beef, pork and lamb.
