Due to a change in Japanese regulations from the 16th of July 2020 onwards, New Zealand certified organic meat produce will not be automatically recognized as organic in Japan anymore. We’re in the process of having our New Zealand chicken certified as JAS organic in Japan, in the meantime, the organic wording has been removed from all New Zealand chicken product pages. There are no changes in the products. Thank you for your understanding.
You get 1 fully sized whole bone-in chicken without the giblets and neck - basically ready for roasting. The size is around 1.3kg (2.8lbs). That should fit any regular oven in Japan. The chicken is naturally slow grown and therefore the meat is much healthier, better formed, tastier, and juicier than commodity chicken. There are no bruises or broken bones that you often find on poor factory-farmed birds. Perfect for a family dinner or gathering. Used with plenty of healthy oven-roasted vegetables this bird can easily feed the whole family.
New Zealand free-range, and pasture-raised chicken. Naturally slow grown and family farm-raised with love and care on an organic apple orchard farm in the sunny Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. No antibiotics, no growth hormones, only no GMO home-grown feed, no chemicals, and free of chlorine. The healthiest and tastiest chicken you can get! The packaging is 100% biodegradable and non-plastic.

Ben and George Bostock grew up on their family’s organic apple orchard in sunny Hawke’s Bay and share a family passion for healthy, safe growing practices where there is control from the farm to plate. This means no chemicals, no antibiotics, no hormones, and no genetic modification. The brothers are determined to give their free-range and pasture-raised chickens the best life. Their apple orchard provides the perfect environment to pasture-raised chicken. The birds enjoy a happy life roaming freely among the apple trees and are housed in uniquely designed french chalets, which are clean and spacious and enable the chickens to roam freely outside once they are fully feathered.
