OUR PRODUCT
At Sun Farms, we take pride in providing our customers with wholesome, flavoursome heritage Sommerlad chickens raised under the shelter of our partner solar farm.
​
We believe in sustainable and ethical farming practices that promote the health and well-being of our birds and the environment.
​
Most chicken in Australia is bred from parent genetics developed and owned by overseas multi-national corporations. These mass-produced chickens are fast growing, white feathered, uniformly round, and bred to be raised in a climate-controlled environment.
​
But not the Sommerlad – this bird is unique and bred from all-Australian owned genetics. It is juicy, healthy, and a joy to eat.
ABOUT SUN FARMS
Our innovative collaboration with solar farms, doubles the economic value obtained from the land and aligns with our commitment to sustainability. This dual land use is known as agrivoltaics.
By embracing agrivoltaics, we follow the principles of regenerative agriculture and:
​
-
Simultaneously, produce high nutrition food and enhance electricity production.
-
Improve soil health, organic matter, and carbon sequestration.
-
Work in harmony with the solar farm infrastructure. This means we are greening
under the solar array which helps to cool the microenvironment and enhance
electricity production.
-
Provide long-term regional employment and local spending.
