As a nation, we've grown used to eating a lot of chicken. It's tasty, lean and versatile so it's easy to understand why it's so popular. Unfortunately, popularity has encouraged intensive farming practices that are less than ideal for the birds and can result in low-quality meat for the consumer. At Coombe Farm Organic, animal welfare and top-grade products are both important to us. So we sell only organic, free-range chicken from birds that have had the liberty to roam, forage and roost according to their natural instincts. An active life keeps our chickens healthy and results in richly flavoured meat with a well-defined texture.

Product FAQs
-
We deliver our organic produce Tuesday – Saturday and you will be able to choose your preferred delivery day at checkout. The delivery charge is £3.95.
-
Freezing is the most natural way of preserving food. And as here at Coombe Farm Organic we believe in slow-grown, healthy food, a form of preservation that doesn’t need artificial additives gets a big tick from us.
We use blast freezing to preserve all of our meat products. It’s done at the point of butchery, to temperatures of -26°C. This locks in all the freshness, flavour and nutritional value and means you get the longest possible shelf life at home once you’ve defrosted it.
It also guarantees it will arrive with you in tiptop condition - confidently delivering fresh meat would be much more challenging.
-
The poultry we sell has been organically reared they are free-range in smaller flocks than other birds, when the animal is ready it is slaughtered and butchered on the farm it was reared on so not to overstress the birds.
You will find any product ingredients on the relevant product pages.

Can't Find the Answer?
If you cannot find the answer to your question and would like to speak to someone contact us and we will be happy to help.
For ultimate ease, remove your chicken from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Pat the skin dry and liberally season with salt and pepper. Put into an oven preheated to 180˚C for 20 minutes to start the skin crisping, then reduce to 160˚C. A 1.4kg bird will take about an hour and a half in total, but start testing it a little bit earlier. You'll know it's ready when the juices in the thickest parts of the meat run clear when pierced with a skewer or when the legs readily pull away from the body. Let your chicken rest (wrapped in foil to keep it warm) for at least twenty minutes before serving. That'll give it a chance to reabsorb all the juices, making it beautifully succulent.

I put a mixture of garlic, butter and lemon under the skin. Put fresh thyme, whole cloves of garlic and two squeezed lemon halves in the cavity, placed it on top of carrots and onions and roasted it, no foil, no basting (an experiment for me). It came out golden brown, crispy skin, and after resting was moist and full of flavour. If you cut the carrots into large chunks, they are so tasty, taking on the flavour of the chicken, thyme, garlic and lemon. I will never eat supermarket chicken again. Have also had some great chicken sandwiches on brioche buns with oven-dried tomatoes, lettuce and mayo, and am just about to make ‘Mum’s Chicken Soup’ with bones. So, great value too. Thank you.

A chicken that tastes so deliciously of chicken - what a treat! We had 6 meals out of this fabulous bird and then made a litre of stock from the bones. It really was scrumptious.

Delicious chicken. It came with giblets, which I put in with the bones&veg to make a rich chicken stock and used the liver to make my first pate, using some home-made blackberry kir. Very easy!

The flavour and texture is good but what puts it above other chickens I have eaten is that the juices from the meat make an excellent gravy which needs no added stock.
