Sommerlads Poultry

Welcome to Sommerlads’ Poultry and the home of ethical poultry production in Australia.

We’ve created something new from something old. Returning to our country’s heritage breeds of table poultry, we have bred our own hardy, slower growing meat chickens, specifically suited to free-range farming.​​

​Exclusively bred on our farm at Tenterfield in the New England highlands of NSW and grown, processed and distributed by authorised Australian family farmers.

Sommerlad chickens are hand reared in small groups for up to 14 weeks of age. (Standard chicken is grown for 5 weeks of age). ​​As well as foraging through the paddock they are fed Australian whole grains and no antibiotics.​ The unique breeding of our chickens allows them to thrive outdoors and slowly and naturally develop into gourmet quality table birds. Enjoy their nutrient dense meat with outstanding texture and flavour.​​
