We are delighted to announce our acquisition of Kenilworth Free Range Farm’s egg business. This increases our production from 10,000 laying hens to a flock of 12,000. With demand for eggs at an all-time high, we are pleased that our customers will be able to access more of our quality product.
The new hens have come from a farm also committed to regenerative farming principles. Like us, Kenilworth Free Range Farm cares for the landscape and the animals ensuring consumers are confident that they are eating healthy food that is ethically produced.
If you are already a customer and notice Kenilworth Free Range eggs missing from the supermarket shelves, choose Forage Farms. Your eggs will be just as tasty and healthy.
“I was very keen not to let my loyal customers down,” said Gordon McWilliam, owner of Kenilworth Free Range Farms. “In seeking a buyer for the egg business, I was looking for someone local, with similar values to ours. I’m very confident that we have found that in Forage Farms.”
Pasture raised hens the secret to ‘good eggs’
Natural sequence or regenerative farming is the closest our birds will get to their natural habitat. Intuitively it just makes sense that your eggs are going to be better for it, and they are.
Our no nasties, no-nonsense eggs taste better because of the open field, natural habitat we provide for our animals. Our chickens live in mobile sheds which are moved twice a week, every week. This constant rotation ensures the ground doesn’t turn to dirt as it does with free-range and organic farming models. Nutritionally speaking there is no other poultry farming model that will allow hens such consistent access to new plants, bugs, and insects that are essential components of a chook’s optimum diet.
When we describe a person as a ‘good egg’, words such as real and wholesome spring to mind. If you purchase your eggs from Forage Farms that’s exactly what, you’ll get. Our eggs are produced in a way that is best for you, the animals, and the environment. You really can’t go wrong with a humble egg from a pasture-raised chook.
The good news for Forage Farms customers on the Sunshine Coast is that our eggs will be available from more stockists including IGAs, fruit and vegetable stores and cafes. Full list of stockists available here.
