We’re keen to inspire the cooking of cockerels. The Fosse free range and slow-grown cockerel offers juicier, bolder, and more generous meat than a chicken, with a rich gamey flavour – simple.

We really think that people have forgotten how good this bird is, and in turn, they are not often found outside of Christmas.

Our master butcher has kept both breasts on the bone, perfect for roasting.

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. See here for what is in their diet

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.
