The familiesTap
Two families, since 1973
The Benfers and the Elks started raising chickens differently in 1973. Fifty years on it is still family owned and run, with second and third generation farmers on the sheds.
The rangeTap
Out on grass from 17 days
Open-sided sheds with fenced, netted grassed range the birds move onto from 17 days old, four days earlier than the industry standard. Shade, plants and room to forage.
What goes inTap
Grain, grass and nothing else
Wheat and sorghum in the shed, grass and grass seed on the range. No growth hormones, illegal in Australia since 1967. Free Range birds are never given antibiotics.
