They live in sheds, or on bare paddocks, and they grow fast because the system is designed for speed, not quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is not that chicken.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTom and Nicole of Misty Creek Agroforestry have spent seven years building a 28-acre living food forest in the Northern Rivers of NSW. Their Tree Range chickens are raised within that system, rotated through diverse pasture, food forest and deep mulch, foraging through insects, fallen fruit and perennial grasses the way a chicken is actually designed to eat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's what makes it different. The birds aren't just raised near trees. They're an active part of the farming system. Their scratching aerates the soil. Their manure feeds the biology underground. Their foraging keeps the system in balance. In return, the forest provides shelter, diversity of diet and a genuinely enriching environment. The animals and the land are in a real relationship, not a transaction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat does that mean for you in the kitchen?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlow-grown, foraging birds develop real muscle and real fat. The flavour is deeper. The texture has substance. The fat renders beautifully. And because this bird has been supplied cryovac'd, it arrives in perfect condition and holds well in your fridge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoast it simply with good butter and salt. It does not need much.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen don't throw the carcass away. A bird raised like this makes stock that gels solid in the fridge, rich in collagen and minerals, the kind of thing your grandmother would have made and your body genuinely knows how to use. One bird, roasted well and used nose to tail, will feed a family of four multiple times across the week. We've broken down exactly how to do that further down this page, so nothing goes to waste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe source this chicken because we believe the people growing it are doing something genuinely important, and because we think once you taste it, you'll understand exactly why we were so excited to bring it to you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe're proud to carry it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-e5a92563-7fff-5dec-485a-6f3a9696497b\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e approx. 1.4kg, half chicken, cryovac'd \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Northern Rivers, NSW \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRaised:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pasture-raised, Tree Range, agroforestry-integrated, no hormones \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupplied:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cryovac'd for freshness and frozen immediately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce defrosted, use within 3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you won’t be home on delivery day, please leave out a cold esky with an ice brick so we can safely leave your chicken.
