Question 5

What is "Free Range" vs The House in the hill "free range"."

Accepted Answer

According to Western Australia regulations:
'Free range' means the eggs were laid by hens that:
Had meaningful and regular access to an outdoor range;
Were able to roam freely on the outdoor range; and 
Were subject to a stocking density of 10,000 hens or less per hectare. This is the equivalent of 1 square metre per chicken!
We currently have 14 hens who can roam the entire 50 acres so they are definitely free range.  This is why our eggs are so golden, creamy, delicious and highly sought after!
