Packington Free Range
At Packington Free Range we firmly believe that what is good for the animals and the land will naturally be good for us and better for our customers. This is the philosophy of our great grandfather before us and we believe passionately in provenance, sustainable and ethical farming which fuels our drive to create an environmentally sound and welfare orientated farm.
Our farms are in various environmental schemes, and we believe in farming in a way that increases regeneration and biodiversity, all having a positive impact on the land and on the animals. Regular surveys on our farms show that the number of different birds and wildlife species increases year on year. We have installed solar panels and use bio-mass boilers to help further reduce our carbon footprint. All of this allows us to continue to farm the land here, in Staffordshire, for generations to come.
It's this simple philosophy that enables us to produce the most succulent, richly flavoured meat that we know you'll enjoy.
Rob and Alec Mercer.

been buying these for years
Love love a packington chicken!! It seems a little pricey to start with but we always find theres so much meat on one of these birds it lasts a few meals! Its succulent, tender and delicious I actually thing Im there biggest fan ! Im always recommending them
Huge
Ordered this which was listed as approx. 1.75 kg, maximum weight 2.3 kg. What I received was a ginormous 2.6 kg bird. Really inconvenient and expensive. There are only 2 of us so Im used to leftovers but this was ridiculous, took an hour to pull the remaining meat from the carcus. The meat was fine, but wont risk getting such a huge bird again.
Plump and delicious
Excellent chicken which provided 8 meals! Very tender and tasty. A good quality buy .
Utterly ridiculous quantity of plastic packaging!
What's the point in producing a free range bird if all you are doing is counteracting the good you are doing by putting the bird in a plastic bag at least twice the size necessary!!!!! Overall, the chicken tastes fine, but I will think twice before buying another one. Cut down on the plastic. Producers should not be doing this in the current climate around plastic awareness
Large free range bird
I like this chicken. It isnt as good as some other free range choices, but still a good product and feeds us for dinner, sandwiches and leftovers.
Best chicken in a long time!
Delicious chicken, succulent and full of flavour - has the actual taste of almost roast chicken crisps! my friend who rarely ever would buy free range is now a convert due to me cooking up and serving one of these ^_^ Excellent quality and will continue to buy whenever on offer
