Organic Whole Chicken - Native Breed

This is a pasture-raised, 100% organic whole chicken from Tan Khun Organic Farm in Ratchaburi. This is a native breed of chicken called Tao Pan Tong. Compared to the broiler breeds you find at the supermarket, the native breed has a more concentrated “chicken” taste and tends to be juicier. About the producer Tan Khun Organic Farm is one of only two farms in Thailand that raise certified-organic chickens. We’re proud to have their products not only for the quality of the pasture-raised chickens but also the ethos of the farmer, Khun Amnart Reansoi. Khun Amnart is a second generation farmer who completed a master’s degree in animal agriculture from Kasetsart University’s Ratchaburi campus before working for a large food conglomerate in Thailand and China. This experience led him to want to start an organic farm to raise chickens that are both healthier for the consumer and a positive contributor to local ecosystems - both animal, plant, and soil. K Amnart practices crop rotation to encourage more nutrient-dense soil and feed products for his animals and is one of the leading voices in the small but growing community practicing regenerative agriculture in Thailand. He raises broiler chickens as well as a native breed called Ta-pao-thong (ตะเภาทองเกษตรศาสตร์) which has been been in Thailand for more than 200 years, originating in China. We visited K Amnart at his farm in 2021 and are thrilled to support a farmer with shared values and a mission to educate other farmers about regenerative agriculture and higher-integrity food.
