Utilizing the whole animal is sustainable and responsible. Chicken hearts are a good source of minerals as they contain a good amount of zinc and iron. You get one pack of certified organic pasture-raised free-range chicken hearts. The hearts are cleaned and ready to cook but may still have a bit of fat left on. You can either trim the fat off or leave it on - please see images. Because our organic chicken is free-range and pasture-raised they grow at different rates so the hearts will come in various sizes mixed together. The most popular way to eat chicken hearts in Japan is Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers).

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.
✔ Open pasture-raised on an organic apple orchard in sunny Hawke's Bay, New Zealand with all the love and care.
✔ Chicken are allowed to freely forage on open pasture and exhibit natural behavior. Chalets provide shelter from the elements which they can enter and leave at free will.
✔ Certified organic by AsureQuality in New Zealand, a fully government-owned organic food assurance enterprise.
✔ No use of antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones - ever
✔ No GMO feed, no chemicals used or chlorine-washed - ever
✔ One farm, one family, one importer - traceability from farm to fork.
✔ Naturally slow-grown chicken. Meat is better formed, of much higher quality and superior taste.
✔ Chicken are fed certified organic lush, green grass, and juicy organic apples as well as home-grown non-GMO feed including corn and barley.
✔ Air chilled - no chlorinated water is used to cool the meat. Which means less shrinkage and water loss during cooking.
✔ No factory farming! The Bostock Brothers are real brothers and are a real family business. Strictly non-commodity produce.
✔ The happiest, healthiest, and tastiest chicken available - taste the difference.
