ORIGIN STORY

Only Single origin, which means they all come from the same farm.

Our Grassland Sommerlad Heritage chickens are the original Australian heritage chicken genetics — bred, raised, and processed entirely on the Kiss family’s farm, Meramie, in Wellington, NSW. Slow-grown in open grassy woodlands, they enjoy a natural 14–16 week life cycle that develops strong bone, muscle, and flavour. Outdoor-reared and chemical-free, they offer the rich taste and character of chicken as it once was.

Award-winning and highly sought after, Sommerlad chickens look, cook, and taste unlike any other chicken available in Australia.
