PREMIUM-QUALITY FARMED POULTRY: SLOW-GROWN, FREE-RANGE BIRDS RAISED ON A HEALTHY, NATURAL DIET
La Dombes free-range birds are raised in a unique landscape littered with marshy pools. The “Aviculteurs de la Dombes” collective was founded here in 1992, built around the common desire to raise free-range, pure-bred birds using slow-growth methods and a 100% natural diet composed of vegetables and minerals, free from GMO and antibiotics. The operational specifications are the same for every producer, and are overseen by the QUALISUD certification body, requiring a diet composed of at least 75% cereal for poultry certified as “Label Rouge”. All the birds are allowed to roam freely, in meadows planted with hedges and trees that provide them with natural shelter. All healthcare treatments are performed using essential plant oils. The birds are slaughtered in a facility located close to the 31 family farms, reducing stress on the birds and ensuring their meat remains as tender as possible. The birds are hand-plucked using a traditional family method. Chickens, guinea fowl, turkeys and capons are certified “Label Rouge” and sold under “Le Prince” brand. The grey duck (canette grise) is non-certified and is sold under the “Prince de Dombes” brand.See all products in this range
