20.01.2022 Live in Brisbane? Want chicken - well deliver it down today only for free to the Valley, City or Southbank between 1 and 3pm - well meet you somewhere handy! One catch - we need to know your order before 11am today (Tue 6/9) so we can pack it to travel down. Interested? SMS 0438 004 280 and well figure something out! Cash only on delivery.

20.01.2022 Master Chefs are doing what? Hi Chicken Lovers, We have some great size chickens and this week we will cap the price at a 2kg chicken - so you may score yourself an extra 100 to 500 grams. ... We'll probably have a few extras this week - so any orders for 3 or more chickens we'll be cutting deals in person (rope friends in if you have to!) - there has never been a better time to come into the farm and try/see pastured organic chicken for yourself! Did you know our chicken is being served in Queensland's most awarded kitchens? The Long Apron (Cameron Matthews) Aria (Matt Moran) Urbane (Alejandro Cacino) The Euro Esquire/Esq (Ryan Squires) Bacchus (Mark 'the legend' Penna) The Tamarind (Dan Jarrett) E'cco Bistro (Simon Palmer) That list represents 12 chefs hats (6 belonging to just 2), countless brutal hours, days, weeks, years and lifetimes of dedication to serving the best Queensland produce! We couldn't be any prouder! There are a few newbies coming on in the next few weeks - exciting times! Quote: Everything about the chicken we use from Peachester farm is "just right ". I love the fact that we are supporting local producers and the ethical food movement, for me it is a real pleasure to use such a wonderful product. You literally can't buy any fresher chicken. There is something to be said about "real food", from the moment you put it into the pan to the moment you swallow your first bite you get this overwhelming sense of cleanliness. It is a special thing for me to be able to share this with the Bacchus customers and watch as their smiles light up when they taste this amazing chicken. Mark Penna - Head Chef Bacchus. Place an order and drop a text to 0438 004 280 to organise pick up anytime from midday Tuesday or any other time next week. Cheers, Karen & Matt PS: Ever wanted to make your own southern style chicken? With the unveiling of KFC's secret herbs and spices there's never been a better time to try your hand at fried chicken. www.chicagotribune.com//ct-kfc-recipe-revealed-20160818-st

16.01.2022 Hi Chicken Lovers, There are approximately 10 chickens left: 1.3 and 1.4kg - perfect for the BBQ or 1.7kg - roasting or in pieces.... Just text: 0438 004 280 Cheers Matt

16.01.2022 Hi Chicken Lovers, Someone asked me recently why we only sell whole chickens - as I was typing the response I realised there was a heap of information most people probably didn't realise - here is a copy: Why do we sell chicken whole in a bag - instead of cut up pieces?... 1. Whole bagged is the only transparent way to sell chicken - injured, sick chickens are the ones that get cut up - sure some good ones get cut up as well, but abattoirs know to process all the bruised, injured chickens for cut up and leave the healthy good looking birds for whole bagged. Our model and hand processing ensure we maintain a high level of bird care, so we don't have damaged chickens required for cut up. The whole chicken is then sold in a clean transparent bag - there is no hiding! Many store bags have white lines which hide blood water and other things you probably don't want to see - but are also vital in making better decisions about high quality meat. 2. Cut up chicken also requires an abattoir or butcher to cut it up and bag it. Finding a consistent provider can be difficult and as farmers you're often left till last for cut up which reduces shelf life of the end product. 3. There is an artificial drive for different parts of chickens. One year it's breast, the next it is thigh. This is driven by diet trends, cook books, celebrity chefs etc. At the moment it is thigh - we expect it's because shed chicken and breeding practices has led to large breast meat that when cooked dries out and is somewhat flavorless. So thighs now dominate the cut up market, to the point where thighs cost the same if not more than breast meat. This creates a dilemma for chicken farmers who do cut up - many end up with boxes of frozen meat of cuts that people do not want, which leads to fire sales and puts downward pressure on the business. In the end the best way forward is nose to tail meat purchasing, so keeping the integrity of the bird from farm to customer is achieving better outcomes. So, we decided on almost all grounds whole bagged chicken was the way forward. Eat whole chickens, of large sizes - you are almost guaranteed of never eating a sick or injured animal and you may well shake up an industry that accepts bird damage of +50%, plus you're supporting a farmer/butcher by buying the whole animal. Thanks for the question! Hit the share button if you learnt something new!

16.01.2022 Christmas! Yeah, its almost time - I know right, seems like it was a few months ago! Last year was our first Christmas - and we didnt think much of it in terms of chicken numbers - suffice to say we basically supplied the restaurants and had none left for us mere mortals.... So, chickens have a grow time of about 2 months - and our last processing day is the 16th of December (abattoir shuts down of the break). Soooo - does anyone want to lock in a Christmas bird? Were aiming for sizes around 2kg - nature will give was it gives us so it might theyre a bit bigger or a bit smaller. If you want chickens over Christmas and new year now is the time to place your order so we can custom grow! Just comment below or pm how many you are after - feel free to share to family and friends - pastured chickens at Christmas are a magical treat!

16.01.2022 It really can wait....

15.01.2022 Ayton Farm is now incorporating Peacheter Chicken Farm.

08.01.2022 Hi Chicken Lovers, First cab off the rank - Peachester Farm has been acquired by Ayton Farm, so we will be finishing chicken production at our farm soon. The acquisition makes Ayton Farm one of the largest organic pastured farms in Queensland.... Ayton Farm had predominately been a pastured organic egg producer with occasional pastured meat chickens. Through the purchase, Rod and Kathy O'Connell from Ayton Farm will be producing pastured chicken every week in greater quantities than we have in the last 18 months. Peachester Chicken Farm will process its last Chicken on the 24th of Jan - so next week and the week after. Asides from happy new year to all of you who have followed along on facebook, we wanted to say a few quick words: Local food is important - it gives you choice - and choice in this day and age isn't a right, it's a privilege. It's been our privilege to provide the food that many of you have made special trips to our farm to buy local quality food. For that we are eternally greatful! Our delivery driver Mark - has been a rock solid part of our family and we have appreciated his insights, humility and he has tackled every problem with integrity and enthusiasm. Mark will continue with Ayton Farm and continue to supply Pastured Chicken around the region. Kev and the team at Moya Valley Abattoir who hand process our chickens - if it were not for this abattoir there are almost no options for small poultry farms between Gympie and NSW..... supporting small farms supports small processors - without them there are literally no food alternatives. To all of the chefs who rolled the dice on our small farm, we hope you were rewarded and continue to thrive and support small local farm families to keep up the traditions, quality, and farm life that keeps local quality produce on family plates - without the support of: The Long Apron Tamarind Ecco Bistro Urbane Malt Dinning Aria Bacchus Huon Valley Meat Co We would not have created a sustainable business that supported our family - from our family to yours - thank you, and we hope you continue to thrive with Ayton Farm! The team at Feed & Fodder - Mike and Fleur. Thanks for supporting us, we'll continue on buying all of our animal produce from you guys! Barry's family butchers - they have supported us with critical infrastructure and we are eternally greatful - we'll continue to process meat through this awesome family butchery! Karen and the kids - thanks for putting up with my absenteism, long hot working days, moving chickens everyday straight for 500+ days. Thanks for following along, and being part of the journey. There will be 10-20 birds available for the next two weeks, last day is the 24th of Jan. We'll put up more details where you can purchase and pick up Ayton Farm chicken in the coming weeks. Thanks again, and we hope you all continue to seek out local, ethical produce in your region. Many thanks for your support. Regards, Matt, Karen, Erica and Claire xo
