For our poultry mince, we work with Biofino – an experienced organic poultry processor from northern Germany. The majority of animals are raised on small, family-run farms, with some holdings being overseen directly by Biofino.
In line with Naturland standards, stock densities are lower than at conventional farms. The animals have guaranteed access to outdoor space, fields where they can roam and daylight in their barns. They receive nutrient-rich feed which is made from at least 95% organic ingredients, GM-free and contains no additives.
Any diseases that occur are treated using natural methods wherever possible. When it comes to slaughtering, attention is paid to short transport distances in order to minimise stress for the animals.
Our processor uses a closed-loop system from breeding to processing. The broiler chicks are bred from animals owned by the farm and hatch at its organic hatchery. Biofino uses an alternative turkey breed for meat production which grows slowly and is particularly hardy.
“We take a holistic approach. We want to guarantee that our animals are treated well – all the way from raising them to slaughtering them. We can monitor and trace every single step in the closed-loop system, enabling us to guarantee top quality and a high level of product safety.”
