Valley Chickens farms chickens regeneratively, with their livelihoods at heart.
On the grass, 24/7
Our chickens live in mobile coops with open floors, so they are on the grass day and night. Every day we move the coops onto fresh pasture.
We have our own on-site processing facility, so we can do a range of cuts and products to order. Just get in touch and tell us what you need.
Open-floor mobile coops
The coops have no floor, so the birds stand on living grass, not on a shed floor.
Moved daily
Each day the coops move to a fresh patch of pasture to forage, scratch and peck.
Farmed regeneratively
Moving every day lets the pasture rest and recover behind them.
Bugs not drugs
No hormones, antibiotics, lights or cages. A natural probiotic keeps them healthy.
Licensed and Registered
Our processing facilities are of the highest standard

Good to know
Why pasture-raised?
Our chickens live on fresh grass 24/7 in open-floor mobile coops that move to new pasture every day. They can forage, scratch and enjoy the sunshine, and the land gets fertilised and rested as they move along. It’s better for the birds, better for the soil, and you can taste the difference.
Pasture-raised vs "free range": what's the difference?
“Free range” often just means the birds have access to the outdoors, and many never actually go outside. Ours live on the grass day and night, in open-floor coops moved daily to fresh pasture, raised without hormones, antibiotics, lights or cages.
Our goal
To farm ethically for people, animals and earth. We farm chickens regeneratively, with their livelihoods at heart, producing food that’s healthy for our planet and for you.
