Our Independent Contract Grower Farmer

• A wholesome chicken meal starts with chemical-free feeding
• We are fortunate to collaborate with independent chicken farmers (growers) who are our valued partners. They share our unwavering commitment to delivering quality chicken products in a safe and responsible manner. Together, we act as responsible stewards of the animals, land, and environment entrusted to us. Our growers nourish our chicks with the finest chemical-free foods, enhancing the taste and quality of the meat we provide.
• Today, we pay nearly R82 million annually to more than 1,600 poultry farmers who contract with us. Traditionally, companies like Daybreak Farms provide incentives to farmers to deliver safer, healthier and better quality chickens.
