Chicken feet, pasture-raised, GM-free, soya-free, low histamine, 600g

This product arrives frozen, and is low in histamine. These are peeled and cleaned, ready to use.

Discover the nutritional powerhouse of our pasture-raised chicken feet, a delicacy that offers numerous health benefits. Raised with care on biodiverse pastures, our chickens are fed a soya-free, GM-free diet, ensuring the highest quality and ethical standards.

Chicken feet are rich in collagen, a protein that supports skin elasticity, joint health, and bone strength. Regular consumption can improve skin hydration, reduce wrinkles, and alleviate joint pain. Moreover, each serving provides vital nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, and folate (vitamin B9), which are crucial for bone health, DNA synthesis, and overall well-being.

Recipe: Chicken feet bone broth

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg chicken feet, cleaned and trimmed
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • Salt to taste
  • Water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken feet:
    • Clean and trim the chicken feet by removing any nails and outer skin if necessary. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Blanch the chicken Feet:
    • Place the chicken feet in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let them blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the chicken feet to remove impurities.
  3. Combine ingredients:
    • In a large stockpot, add the blanched chicken feet, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, apple cider vinegar, and black peppercorns.
  4. Add water:
    • Pour enough water to cover all the ingredients by about 2 inches.
  5. Simmer:
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 12-24 hours. The longer it simmers, the more nutrients and collagen will be extracted from the chicken feet.
  6. Strain the broth:
    • After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or another pot. Discard the solids.
  7. Season and store:
    • Season the broth with salt to taste. Let it cool to room temperature, then store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.

Serving suggestions:

  • Enjoy the bone broth as a warm, nourishing drink.
  • Use it as a base for soups, stews, and sauces.
  • Add it to your favourite recipes for an extra boost of flavour and nutrition.

This chicken feet bone broth is rich in collagen and essential nutrients, making it a perfect addition to your diet for improved skin, joint, and bone health. Enjoy!

Our 100% grass fed herd of English Shorthorn beef cattle

Our meat is clean and beyond organic

Our meat is not all labelled organic but it conforms to all the standards and goes well beyond them.

All our cattle and sheep are fed only grass. Grass that is never fertilized or sprayed with herbicides. Even an organic system does not require 100% grass fed system. The beef you get in the shop has been fed a mountain of grain which has been grown with pesticides and fertrilizers.

Our beef and lamb are good for the planet

The herd of grazing animals stimulates grassland to pump CO2 from the air into the soil. Yes, I mean CO2, the greenhouse gas that causes global warming. They do this by intensive grazing for 1 day only and allowing land to recover. After being grazed and re-growing, grassland pumps CO2 into the soil and stores it there as soil carbon while growing taller each time.

One person emits 10 tonnes of CO2 every year. This nearly equals what one of our cows takes from the air and stores in the soil (9.6 tonnes CO2) every year. This is a net CO2 after we have taken away corresponding methane emissions of our herd.

Our cattle and sheep management mimics nature and allows grassland to store CO2 in the soil

The amount of feed and fertilizers per 1 beef animal

As a calf, it is fed 100 kg of feed in a creep feeder:
60 kg barley
14 kg soya
23.5 kg sugar beet

growing steer (for 100 days) ratio:
350 kg barley
30 kg rapeseed

finishing steer (for 80 days)
600 kg barley

TOTAL feed per steer:
1010 kg barley
30 kg rapeseed
14 kg soya
23.5 kg sugar beet

Source: AHDB

Pesticide figure based on yearly application of pesticides on barley in 2018 (based on application to 0.17 ha that would produce 1 tonne of barley):

spring and winter barley were mixed in equal ratio for simplicity.
Pesticides in spring barley:
157.5 g
Pesticides in winter barley:
307.5 g

TOTAL 465 g of pesticides = to litres it is about 465 ml of pesticides per year.

Fertilizer figure (based on application to 0.17 ha that would produce 1 tonne of barley):
nitrogen: 24.14 kg
phosphate: 4.59 kg
potash: 5.95 kg
sulfur: 5.95 kg


TOTAL 40.63 kg of fertilizers

How our cattle are carbon negative

At a sequestering rate of 2.5 t C/ha/year​2​, our herd of 150 cattle can sequester whopping 1,404 t CO2 from the air in the soil. That is equivalent to lifestyle emissions of 140 people.

You can follow my calculations for more details:

  • 150 cattle running on 550 acres. 550 acres = 222 ha
  • Rate of sequestering is 2.5 t of C per ha​ (1)​, so that is 2.5 x 222 = 555 t C. To put this amount of carbon into an equivalent amount of CO2, we have to multiply by -3.666 (IPCC)
    555 x -3.666 = -2,034.63 t CO2 sequestered
  • The methane emissions of cattle in CO2 equivalent terms are 12.14 kg CO2/kg of beef (2)​. Our cow deadweight is about 350 kg. So 12.14 x 350 = 4.2 t CO2 per cow. We have 150 cattle, so that is 4.2 x 150 = +630 t CO2.
  • When we take away cattle’s emissions from our sequestering rate, we conclude 2,034.63 – 630 = -1,404.63 t CO2/year

This means that a beef cow from such herd sequesters -9.3 t CO2 every year. This is nearly equivalent to yearly emissions of your lifestyle (+10 t CO2/year).
