Farmer Brown's Pastured Eggs
Spicer's Creek, NSW
How much space do hens need to lay an egg? Angus and Hugh think 3 acres per hen is plenty. Pastured means the hens are free to roam where ever they like, grazing on pasture, amongst the trees, scratching in the earth and eating insects as they naturally should. They rise with the sun and tuck themselves in to their chicken caravans when it's time to roost for the night. Not only do their hens produce great eggs, but living in mobile caravans means they get fresh grass every few days and they fertilise the grass for the cows and sheep that share the property. With plenty of stockests its not hard to get hold of a good egg. See their website for details.

Grassland Poultry
Wellington, NSW
For Kim and Bryan Kiss farming is more than just producing chicken meat; it’s about having access to healthy, ethically grown food that tastes great. This was there key motivator when starting their poultry business. They wanted to be able to eat well and have faith that a product is truly healthy and regenerative. It’s not always easy to find poultry that ticks those boxes. They realise it is important to maintain a strong connection to the land and let nature work its magic. Their heritage breed chickens have a slower optimum growth rate and will naturally forage. The result is healthier, happier birds, a more holistic system and chicken that tastes the way nature intended.
