Totally free ranging and slow-growing
At Fosse Meadows Farm we grow our birds slowly and traditionally. The Fosse bird is totally free ranging and grown naturally in small flocks to a minimum of 81 days. That’s three times longer than standard commercially-reared supermarket chicken, and two weeks longer than organic birds.
Like the much-admired French chicken, we use three strains of French breeds and grow them to full maturity. This means our birds have longer legs, allowing them to roam and forage on rich, wildflower pasture. They are fed a cereal-based diet that is locally sourced where possible, with no antibiotics, additives or hormones.
Fosse chicken simply has richer and more succulent meat, with stronger, nutritionally-rich bones too. Just how chicken should, and used to, taste.
Weight is typically 1.8kg-2kg once boned out
Fosse Total Freedom Chicken
At Fosse Meadows Farm we grow our birds slowly and traditionally. The Fosse Total Freedom Chicken is totally free ranging and grown naturally in small flocks to an average of 81 days.
That is:
• three times longer than standard commercially reared supermarket chicken.
• four weeks longer than free range.
• two weeks longer than organic birds.
Like the much-admired French chicken, we use three strains of French breeds and grow them to full maturity. This means our birds have longer legs, allowing them to roam and forage on clover rich pasture. There are no pesticides or fertilisers used on the land and no antibiotics or additives in their cereal based diet. Any Soy used is from a certified sustainable source.

The older the bird, the more confidence they have to range further. This ranging (exercise) produces a more athletic chicken. The result is a richer, textured, darker and more succulent meat with stronger nutritionally rich bones too. Just how chicken should and used to taste.
