Dear Shelley and James,

We wanted to write and thank you both so much for sharing with us your journey into rearing poultry.

As you know, we are both vets and have both worked as farm vets. We have spent a lot of our adult lives wanting to harvest the good in farming to produce better food, well. It seems even if food is produced with much thought, like organic, free range, farm assured etc., rarely is the product outstanding.

We have ventured to produce our own meat in small way’s, but it is not an easy task for an amateur and can be very time consuming.

The chicken we received from you was outstanding. It was of highest quality, the meat was flavoursome with fantastic texture but additionally and importantly, it was a really good size.

Our family is not huge, and our consumption is not big but usually we need 2 whole chickens to feed us all.

Yours allowed us all to have generous portions with some left over for the week’s sandwiches (a very importantpart of our Sunday roasts!).

I was reflecting on the price also, it seems that as the bird is over twice the size of a large normal bird (but with additional flavour, we didn’t add much to ours, all it needed was butter, salt and pepper), the price seems remarkably fair.

I would say more and more people in Cornwall are looking towards eating less meat of better quality. Farm butchers seem to be thriving, and rightly so.

So, we thank you and take our hats off to you. It feels like you have cornered a market that the supermarkets have not. Definitely an impressive roast to have in the centre of your table for any event. Quite honestly, it was so good, I would rather have this than Turkey at Christmas!

Please let us know when we can put our next order in and let our friends know about it!

Warmest Regards
