Regenerative Agriculture

By putting carbon dioxide back into the soil, regenerative agriculture is one of the best ways to combat climate change.

We have three fixed sites with a central barn that opens up to a 60m x 80m area, as well as 10 tractors that each house 200 chickens. After the sheep have fertilised this pasture, the chickens feast, and the grass grows behind them.

Our poultry is part of a holistic farm management system. This includes how the chickens work with the sheep, but we also think of holistic in wider economic, social and environmental terms. How we’re working with our neighbours and community. Where we source our food, and how we package it. How we want to keep improving our systems.

We grow our chickens from day-olds to ensure they have an ethical upbringing and grass under their feet. They have lined nesting boxes and perches so they can rest naturally at night. As well as pasture grass and insects, the chickens eat peas, greens, and leafy cabbages from a horticultural farm next door. They’re also given commercial blend at lib to ensure they’re getting the right minerals. If any grow up to be bullies, we find them a home so our chicken community stays peaceful.

Stay tuned as we keep learning!
