Fosse Meadows‘ ethos is simple: give birds more time, more space and a natural outdoor life, and the result is better-tasting poultry. Its free-range chickens are slow-grown for at least 81 days, two weeks longer than organic standards, in small flocks with access to 30 acres of pesticide-free pasture and hedgerows. Their diet contains sustainably sourced cereals and pulses, with no routine antibiotics, additives or growth hormones.
The North Kilworth farm also raises cockerels, bronze turkeys, geese and ducks, with all birds prepared in its own small FSA processing plant and butchery. This former GFC Food Producer of the Year has won multiple Great Taste Awards, including three stars for its cockerels. Its reputation now reaches well beyond Leicestershire, with Fosse chicken appearing at Wimbledon and on the menu at London’s acclaimed Quality Chop House. It remains a producer whose farming methods are every bit as important as flavour.
