Barn Acres Grown slow, sold local

Pastured poultry

Chicken raised the way it used to be

Barn Acres runs a small flock across open paddock in the Southern Tablelands. No sheds, no shortcuts. Just grass, sunlight and time, then a short trip down the road to your kitchen.

Our story

From sheep paddock to chicken run

Barn Acres started as a way to feed our own family better. We had the land, we had the time, and we didn't trust what was in the supermarket bird.

The first flock was fifty chickens and a borrowed trailer. Word travelled faster than we expected, mostly by people slowing their cars on the road past the farm to ask what was going on behind the fence.

These days the flock is bigger, the paddocks rotate on a stricter clock, and the fire under the roasting drum still runs on the same offcuts it always has.

You can taste the difference between a bird that walked and one that didn't.

Questions, answered.

Do I need to order ahead, or can I just turn up?

You can buy straight from the farm-gate stall on Saturdays, but for a specific cut or a large order it's worth reserving online first.

Is the farm open for visits during the week?

The farm itself is a working property and not open for casual visits, but the gate stall runs most Saturday mornings.

Do you deliver, or is pickup the only option?

We deliver within the local district on Fridays; anything further needs to be collected at the gate.

How are the chickens actually raised?

They live on open pasture in movable pens, shifted daily, with no antibiotics and no growth hormones used at any stage.

Is there parking at the farm stand?

Yes, there's a gravel pull-in right beside the stand with room for several cars.
