organic whole chicken
A large, organic chicken from Stream Farm in Somerset. The Devonshire Gold chicken boasts a well developed carcass which combined with the long life and diet high on pasture, produces meat that has a coarser texture with a gamier flavour.
 
An Organic Chicken will have been raised on land and only fed any supplementary feed that is soil association approved, meaning no chemical fertilisers can be used on the land and the feed will be GM free and also grown organically with no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides used. They will then be processed at a soil association certified processing plant. Not only that but this also means that the minimum level of welfare has to be at a high level so the birds have to be given more space than just a regular chicken you will find in the supermarket.
The difference between this organic chicken and a free range chicken is that whilst free range chicken may be very high quality, organic chicken can offer that absolute guarantee to be free from pesticides and herbicides on all stages of the food chain. Organic chicken also requires 10 square meters per bird whilst free range requires only 4 meters per bird, meaning the minimum welfare is higher in organic production. In this case, Stream Farms chicken fits the standards that we like, and goes beyond these minimum standards. They have a very large area of flourishing pastures to roam on, and each batch that are grown are moved onto a new field on the farm. 
 
As an added bonus this Organic Chicken from Stream Farm has also won the Gold Taste of the West Award in 2021.
