The roosters are fed a nutritious diet of natural grains and supplements, which are carefully selected to support their growth and health. They are also given access to fresh, clean water at all times.

The farm takes great care in ensuring the welfare of their roosters, with regular veterinary check-ups and a strict animal welfare policy in place. The farm’s team also closely monitors the environment to ensure that it is conducive to the roosters’ needs, such as temperature, humidity, and cleanliness.

Overall, the farming practices used on this farm are designed to create a sustainable and ethical approach to poultry farming, which results in healthy, happy, and high-quality roosters.

Story about the farmer:

Roland was a successful accountant in Johannesburg, he had always felt something was missing in his life. The daily grind of the city had left him feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from the natural world. He yearned for a simpler life, one that allowed him to work with his hands and contribute to the community in a meaningful way.

After much soul-searching, Roland decided to leave the city and pursue his passion for farming. He purchased a small piece of land just outside of Johannesburg and set about transforming it into a sustainable poultry farm.

Roland’s approach to farming was centered around the principles of sustainability and animal welfare. He believed that by raising free-range poultry in a natural and healthy environment, he could provide people with high-quality, ethically raised meat, while also promoting more sustainable and environmentally conscious lifestyles.

Despite having no prior experience in farming, Roland threw himself into his new venture, reading books, attending workshops, and seeking advice from other farmers. It wasn’t always easy, and there were times when he felt overwhelmed and uncertain. But he persevered, driven by a deep sense of purpose and the knowledge that he was making a positive difference in the world.

Over time, Roland’s farm grew and flourished. His free-range poultry became popular among local restaurants and farmers’ markets, and he began to build a reputation as a knowledgeable and dedicated farmer. He also became an advocate for sustainable farming practices, speaking at conferences and workshops and sharing his knowledge with others.

Looking back on his journey, Roland feels grateful for the opportunity to pursue his passion and make a positive impact on the world. While the road to success was not always smooth, he believes that the challenges he faced only made him stronger and more determined to live a life that is both fulfilling and sustainable.
