Kim Kiss owns and operates Grassland Poultry alongside her husband Brian, just outside Wellington. Grassland Poultry is a free-range chicken farm where they breed, hatch, raise, and process the chickens completely on-farm.

In this episode, Kim explains why she and Brian chose to pivot from cattle to chickens, how their free-range chicken farm runs a little differently than most, and why the Sommerlad breed is perfect for Australian conditions.  

Local Land Service Mixed Farming Advisor, Claudia Hinrichsen, sat down with Kim for a cup of tea and a chat about chooks.
