Free Range

Australia has a number of different production systems to satisfy consumer preferences.  About 15% of eggs sold in Australian are free range.

Aussie Pride Free Range eggs only come from farms that are Egg Corp Assured accredited. There is no variation in nutritional content of eggs laid in a free range environment, when compared to eggs produced in an alternative laying system. The only difference is with the hen’s environment. Aussie Pride free range hens have the freedom to move around outdoors during daylight hours, whilst their water, food and nests are housed inside sheds.

Whilst an ideal environment is created for the hens, the resulting cost of producing free range eggs is higher than other traditional systems.
