FAQs

General

How do you raise your chickens?

  • Raised without antibiotics or added hormones
  • Halal certified
  • Naturally foraging birds raised in mobile range coops
  • Committed to quality, food safety and animal welfare
Is Farmer Max chicken organic?

While our chickens are not certified organic, they are pasture-raised without antibiotics or added hormones. They are fed high-quality commercial feed and naturally forage for bugs and seeds on pasture. As certified organic feed is not currently available in Kenya, we do not market our chicken as organic.

How is Farmer Max chicken processed and chilled?

Our chickens are chilled using a water ice bath, with white wine vinegar used as a natural disinfectant to maintain hygiene and product quality.

Is Farmer Max chicken free-range?

Our chickens are pasture-raised in mobile range coops that are moved to fresh pasture every day, giving them continuous access to fresh grass and natural foraging while keeping them safe from predators.

Is your meat fresh or frozen?

Our products available to buy directly from our website are currently all frozen. We plan to offer fresh products on the website very soon!

What ingredients are in the Farmer Max Sausages?

Our sausages are made from quality chicken meat and chicken skin, blended with herbs, spices, wheat fibre, flavourings, and approved food-grade seasonings and preservatives for great taste and freshness.

Allergen information: Contains wheat (gluten) and MSG (flavour enhancer). Produced in a facility that may also handle milk, egg and soya.

How should I prepare Farmer Max pet food?

Our pet food is made from 100% raw chicken products, including hearts, gizzards, backs, necks, carcasses and trimmings.

Some of our customers feed their pets raw Farmer Max pet food, while others boil it briefly in water (but note that cooking bones can sometimes make them brittle and prone to splintering).

Why does my chicken have a green patch?

Occasionally, you may notice a green discoloration in the breast meat after cutting into your chicken. This is known as green muscle, a form of internal bruising rather than a disease or contamination.

Green muscle can occur as a result of natural wing flapping and muscle activity, particularly in pasture-raised birds that are encouraged to move freely and express their natural behaviours.

Because the bruising develops internally, it cannot be detected during processing and only becomes visible once the chicken is cut.

At Farmer Max, we do not inject our chickens with water, hormones, antibiotics, or any other substances.

The green discoloration is a naturally occurring condition and is not caused by injections or poor handling.

While the affected area is not harmful to food safety, we understand it may not be visually appealing. We recommend trimming away the discolored portion before cooking. If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, please contact our customer service team and we will be happy to assist.

Is Farmer Max chicken Halal certified?

Yes. All Farmer Max chicken is Halal certified. Our chickens are manually slaughtered by trained Halal slaughtermen, with the name of God recited during slaughter in accordance with Halal requirements.
