About the Grassland Sommerlad breeders
The breeder flocks' job is to produce fabulously healthy eggs that become the meat chickens we receive every fortnight and, as any breeder will tell you, it takes great skill to successfully manage a breeding flock over time. Key to this is maintaining flock vigour by moving some birds along at certain stages. In this case, they've moved along to us...

Grasslands Poultry is unique in the meat chicken industry for a number of reasons, all described in the case study in our book, The Ethical Omnivore.

No other small farm is growing heritage birds commercially and running the entire operation within the farm boundary - managing the genetics of the breeding flock, incubating eggs, pasture-raising meat birds and finally, processing and packing birds. Which means less stress for humans and animals and a higher quality standard at every stage of production.

Grassland Sommerlad heritage chickens are simply the best and the healthiest.
