Order online; UK DPD delivery or free farm / London market collection Fosse Meadows is a fourth generation farm producing free-range and very slow-grown poultry using traditional and compassionate methods, to produce the ver

y best bird using the highest welfare. Owners Nick Ball and Jacob Sykes returned to the Ball’s family farm in Leicestershire to start the poultry farming business after living in ā€˜Peck’em’, London – as a fashion designer and property developer respectively. Nick and Jacob’s keen interest in good food meant their aim was to produce something a bit different – a bird they were both happy to say was of the highest quality, of excellent flavour and succulence, and raised using compassion and artisan farming standards. The traditional French breed chickens are slow-reared to full maturity, (to 81 days), with access to mobile sheds during the daytime when bad weather occurs and overnight for protection from foxes. They are fed an additive-free ethically sourced diet with full access to wild flower pasture and hedgerows, roaming freely, scratching around in the clover fields and at the bottom of trees and hedges. Our Fosse Meadows chicken was positioned No. 7 in The Observer Food Monthly ā€˜6th Annual OFM 50′ - Everything we love in the world of food right now’. We also won a Good Housekeeping award in 2015, have numerous recommendations from chefs and food writers such as Diana Henry and Thomasina Miers, and came top in a blind taste test by a Michelin starred chef. We are also recommended by Henrietta Green's 'Food Lovers Britain' and are proud have been awarded The Guild of Fine Food, Great Taste Award stars for our Fosse chicken, Christmas turkey, free-range duck, homemade Chicken Bone Broth and Picnic Pie, as well as a fantastic 3 star award for our Cockerel!

Meet the Fosse protection team 🐾

This is Polar, one of Nick and Jacob’s Maremma livestock guardian dogs.

Originally bred in Italy to protect livestock from predators, at Fosse her job is protecting the chickens, patrolling the farm and keeping an eye out for foxes, crows and anything else getting too close.

They’re brilliant working dogs, but famously independent and not always easy to train. At three, Polar has pretty much got it.

Panda, at 15 months? Still a little work to do…

Just another part of life at Fosse Meadows.

Early morning at Fosse.

Nick was out walking through the pasture first thing this morning when a few of the younger residents appeared...

Our young turkeys, happily making their way through the long grass, exploring, pecking and foraging as they go.

They’ve got plenty of space, plenty to investigate and, judging by this lot, they’re settling in nicely.

Not a bad way to start the day.

This isn’t just grass.

Take a closer look at some of our pastures and there’s a lot more going on.

This is a GS4 legume and herb-rich ley, originally established as part of a government environmental farming scheme to create more diverse pasture that benefits the soil, wildlife and the animals grazing it.

It’s a mix of grasses, clovers, herbs and wildflowers that we use across a number of fields at Fosse.

Different plants put down different roots at different depths, helping improve soil structure, hold water and create more resilient pasture. Above ground, the flowers provide food and habitat for pollinators and other wildlife.

And right now, it’s also where some of our young turkeys are spending their days, getting out onto pasture and starting to forage.

So yes, it might look like a field of grass.
But there’s a lot going on underneath!
