The Simple Egg ... will never be the same again!
Many people think eggs are just one of those basic ingredients you have to have on hand when cooking...true, but did you know that the quality of some eggs is definitely better than others? In fact, they can even become the star of the gourmet show, especially when they are of the highest quality, produced under the best free range conditions, and brought to market with care.
Tom and Fiona Fryar's Free Range Poultry Farm covers 2,200 acres. They run 24,000 hens on the farm, producing approximately 8,000 dozen eggs a week and supplying in excess of 80 outlets across Kangaroo Island, Adelaide and Melbourne.
Kangaroo Island Free Range Eggs is a 'Kangaroo Island Quality' accredited business. Also AQIS registered, producing eggs of export quality for the local market, and externally audited by Animal Liberation SA to ensure that the hens are genuine free range.
Maremma stock guardian dogs live with the hens on the farm, watching over and protecting the hens from predators such as eagles and feral cats.
Mobile poultry sheds are used on Fryars free range farm, each shed providing 1,000 hens with shelter, nesting boxes and timber rails for roosting. The sheds are designed to allow the birds access in and out as they please. The sheds are moved across the paddock providing the hens access to fresh pasture. They are also fed a mixture of locally grown grains which are crushed and mixed on the farm.
The eggs are gathered daily and stored in a cool room to ensure a product of excellent freshness & quality. Graded and packed on farm, they are then ready for distribution to the various retail outlets for sale.
