Each order is for one carton (7-9kg approx) raw chicken skin, packed in 500g to 1kg vacuum-sealed bags.

Crisp, golden, and rich in flavour, this skin is prized by chefs and cooks alike. Whether baked into crackling, rendered for fat, or wrapped around roulades, its structure holds up beautifully to both high heat and slow rendering.

A bird of true distinction, the Sommerlad heritage chicken is slow-grown for 12–14 weeks in open grassy woodlands, where it forages naturally and develops real flavour. Raised with care by the Kiss family at Meramie Farm in Wellington, NSW, these birds yield skin with depth and a superb balance of fat and collagen. Nothing is bleached, processed, or tampered with — just clean, honest produce.

Due to very high demand, please allow at least 6-8 weeks for all preorders/backorders.

ORIGIN STORY

Our Heritage chickens are single origin, which means they all come from the same farm.

These chickens are small-batch, ethically raised, and enjoy longer, free-ranging lives in the woodlands of the Kiss family farm, ‘Meramie’, Wellington, New South Wales. They grow naturally at a slower pace, allowing for harmonious organ, muscle, and bone development over 14-18 weeks. The entire process, from start to finish, takes place in the family-owned farm abattoir, ensuring a chemical-free production. Kim and Bryan breed, grow, and process the only remaining original Sommerlad genetics all on farm.

Outdoor reared, happy, healthy natural chooks, free to roam whenever they like. These meat chickens are an excellent choice if you want a truly natural, slow-grown chicken that is full of flavour and reminiscent of the chickens of yesteryear.

Multiple award-winning Sommerlad chickens are hard to find and highly sought after. They look, cook, and taste unlike any other chicken available in Australia.

delivery details

Each carton is dispatched from our Sydney warehouse to the address supplied with your order. Carton weights listed are indicative; your invoice will reflect the true weight of the carton.

Product is kept in a frozen chain from our depot to your nearest cold store. However, the courier who delivers your cartons may use a refrigerated vehicle transported at 0–1°C, which means you might (occasionally) notice some softening around the edges. This is normal and part of the Australian logistics network. You can read more about that here.
