Grassland’s Sommerlad chickens are slow-grown for 14-16 weeks in open grassy woodlands, free to roam and forage, developing rich, dark meat, golden skin, and deeply flavoured bones — the hallmarks of real chicken. Bred specifically for Australian conditions, this rare heritage line offers a depth of flavour that rivals the famed French Bresse, yet remains uniquely our own. Raised from breeding to harvest in a closed-loop farm system, each bird reflects a lineage of true Australian farming tradition. From the Kiss family’s Meramie Farm in Wellington, New South Wales, these birds embody dedication to quality and flavour.

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.
