Rooibos Tea Infusion:

Rooibos tea isn’t just a tasty drink—it’s packed with health benefits that our pasture-raised chickens love.

Studies have shown that Rooibos tea is full of antioxidants like aspalathin and quercetin, which help protect cells from damage and keep our chickens healthy. These antioxidants also boost their immune systems and help them handle stress better.

Plus, Rooibos tea has anti-inflammatory properties that can keep our chickens feeling great. It’s gentle on their stomachs and may even help improve digestion by supporting good gut bacteria.

And because Rooibos tea is caffeine-free, it keeps our chickens calm and relaxed. It’s all part of our commitment to giving them a happy and comfortable life.

In short, Rooibos tea is a natural way to keep our Umami Pasture-raised Chickens healthy and thriving. From supporting their immune systems to promoting good gut health, it’s an essential part of their diet that keeps them producing delicious and nutritious meat.

Unveiling the Flavourful Journey of Longer-Lived Chickens

At the heart of Umami pasture-raised chickens lies a fascinating journey that begins with a simple yet profound truth: the longer chickens live, the more they evolve into a symphony of umami flavours.

Research indicates that as chickens age, their bodies undergo dynamic changes, particularly in the accumulation of intramuscular fat. This process, scientifically known as marbling, contributes significantly to the development of umami—a savoury taste sensation that elevates the culinary experience. As these chickens roam freely and live longer lives, they engage in more natural behaviours, leading to increased muscle activity. This enhanced activity, coupled with a slower growth rate, allows for the deposition of richer and more succulent fat within the meat.

Our Umami chickens live longer lives, and that means their flavour gets better over time. As their muscles develop, the taste becomes richer and more complex, resulting in meat that’s not just bigger, but also more tender and flavorful—perfect for those who love umami.

In simple terms, our pasture-raised chickens prove that when it comes to flavour, bigger really is better. Their extended lifespan turns them into culinary treasures, packed with the unique umami taste that foodies crave. It’s all about combining science, nature, and care to give you a dining experience that’s anything but ordinary.
