Devon Free Range & Farm Fresh Chicken - Peter Coleman, Creedy Carver - Merrifield Farm
Peter & Sue Coleman, Creedy Carver - Merrifield Farm, Nr Crediton.
Peter and Sue have run their 82 acre farm for over twenty years and have achieved an excellent reputation for producing high quality local Devon free-range and farm-fresh chickens.
Day old chicks are initially reared in temperature controlled brooder units until 28 days old when they are moved to free range units. These are either straw bale shacks or special chicken arks. Here they are allowed to roam grassy fields yet have the protection from predators and the elements in their specialist housing. Birds are fed a low density GM free, additive and antibiotic free diet to allow slower growth, greater maturity and better flavour. Birds are reared in small flocks to reduce stress and increase freedom. A simple diet, greater maturity and a natural environment produces a happier, better tasting chicken.
