Ellerslie Farm Eggs Organic Dozen 800g

Description

Ellerslie Farm Organic Free Range eggs are laid by hens that range freely on organic, chemical free pastures with a maximum density of 1500 hens per hectare when outdoors. Their hens are fed a nutritious organic mix that is free from genetically modified plants. The farm is independently audited to ensure Australian Certified Organic standards are strictly adhered to. For an egg to be classified as ‘organic’, it must be produced from free-range hens fed entirely certified organic grains. Throughout the day the chooks are free to come and go as they please from the sheds. The hens graze on certified organic pastures, foraging freely across acres of pasture in daylight hours, are never debeaked, and lay their precious eggs in straw filled nests from which the eggs are collected twice daily by hand. At night the birds are housed in secure sheds to keep foxes at bay. Forage crops are planted to provide cover during the day from eagles and hawks.
