Dorset born Kevin Froud grew up in the village of Woodlands near Wimborne and from a young age showed an interest in all things feathered keeping chicken, ducks and even Quail. From the age of about 10 he ran a successful enterprise selling eggs “Kev’s eggs” and would deliver in the local area on his bicycle with trusty hen 'Posh Spice' on the handle bars. In later years Kev attended Sparsholt College to study Game Keeping and the Ecology of Deer going on to secure employment on Sandringham Estate no less.

 

Kev's passion for poultry never faded and several years ago he started rearing chicken for the table, producing a small number for friends and family to enjoy and things have grown from there. Now based in Piddlehinton, Kev with the help of his Father Malcolm, wife Jenna and their Labradors (Nettle, Barley & Willow) Kevin produces birds of the highest quality for many Dorset butchers, village shops, farm shops, pubs, hotels and restaurants, his chicken has even been endorsed on more than one occasion in the Telegraph by local food writer Rose Prince.
