A family-run local (KZN) Chicken Farm
The farm was bought by Mr. Anthony Apostolides (Snr) in 1944. His objective, when purchasing this farm, was to become a tomato farmer.
In approximately 1950, Mr. Apostolides began farming chickens. He had both laying fowls and broilers. The broilers were housed in homemade cages and the layers in sheds where they ran on a deep litter system.
During the rearing process, chicks are fed a diet of natural grains. No animal by product is fed to the birds, neither are any hormones used. Antibiotics are not used systemically (as a growth stimulant) but only for the welfare of the chickens. In the abattoirs further processing, all spices are natural; there is no use of MSG or any artificial flavours and colourants. The abattoir process subscribes to all Halaal requirements.
- Hormone free
- No Animal Byproducts added to feed
- Own Mill = own feed = more control
- Corn Fed
- Sustainable and green farming practices
- Strict quality standards
- Welfare of birds really matters - farming with heart (fresh air, lower stocking density and room to spread
wings, clean water& food for every bird, less fat due to freedom to move around)
- No artificially adjusted day/night cycles
***WE DO NOT SELL ANYTHING THAT WE WOULDN’T FEED TO OUR OWN CHILDREN***
