Tired of tasteless supermarket chicken that shrinks in the pan and leaves you wondering what you're actually eating? You’re not alone.
More people across the UK are choosing to buy pasture-raised chicken direct from farms like ours — not just for the ethics, but for the flavour. Here at Spindle Wood Farm, we believe you should know exactly why our chicken is different.
🌱 What Pasture-Raised Really Means
At Spindle Wood Farm, our Hubbard broiler chickens live how chickens should:
On real pasture, with natural light and fresh air
Fed organic grain, though our farm itself is not certified organic (we’ll explain why below)
Slow-grown, taking 9–11 weeks to mature (vs 5 weeks in supermarkets)
Free to forage, scratch, dust bathe and express natural behaviours
We move them every day to fresh ground using mobile coops known as chicken tractors, meaning they always have access to clean grass, insects, and fresh air.
This not only improves their welfare, it massively improves the meat quality.
🍗 Why It Tastes So Much Better
Our chickens are:
More active, which develops firmer texture and flavour
Fed better, with organic grain and natural forage from our chemical-free pastures.
Grown slower, which allows for proper muscle development and richness
The result? An award-winning chicken that actually tastes like chicken, rich, savoury, and deeply satisfying. The skin crisps beautifully. The stock from the bones is golden and full of depth.
Once you've tasted one, you won’t want to go back.
🛒 How to Order Chicken from Our Farm
We raise our birds in small batches and process them every two weeks with care and respect.
Ordering is simple:
Visit our online shop
Choose whole birds or portions (depending on current availability)
Select your either local or nationwide delivery
Done!
We’ll keep you updated on timing — and you’ll always know where your food came from.
🙋♀️ “Are You Organic?”
We’re not certified organic, but we go well beyond the usual standards in many ways:
Our birds eat organic-certified grain which is GMO free
They’re never routinely medicated or fed antibiotics
They spend nearly their entire lives outside
We put animal health and transparency first. Certification is expensive and bureaucratic, but our customers know our methods and trust our care.
