Why Cage-Free Matters: The Truth Behind Our Chickens

At Larkin Farms, we believe that the quality of your food begins with how it’s raised. That’s why we’ve chosen to raise our chickens cage-free—not just as a buzzword, but as a commitment to animal welfare, environmental responsibility, and better nutrition for your family.

Cage-free chickens live in open, comfortable barns where they can move freely, stretch their wings, and engage in natural behaviours like scratching, pecking, and dust bathing. These aren’t just happier birds—they’re healthier too. A stress-free environment leads to stronger immune systems and less need for antibiotics, which we proudly never use.

Our chickens are fed a high-quality, vegetarian diet without any animal by-products, growth hormones, or additives. Every day, they receive fresh bedding and are cared for by our dedicated family and team members who truly love what they do. This hands-on approach means we can quickly spot and address any health issues, ensuring every bird is well cared for from hatch to harvest.

What does this mean for you? It means the chicken on your plate is not only safer but more flavourful. Juicier meat, better texture, and the peace of mind that your food was raised responsibly. When you choose Larkin Farms, you choose quality you can taste and values you can trust.
