Mt Barker Free Range Chicken

So what actually is a “free range chicken”?

There are currently no national standards for free-range chicken farming, however Mt Barker Chicken has a clear set of standards that governs how it cares for its birds. The idea is simple: chickens are left to roam freely and forage outdoors during the day on an area not less than three times the area of their shed, and are sheltered from predators and inclement weather at night.

Mt Barker Chicken sets itself the highest possible standards to ensure its chickens live in a happy and stress-free environment, which gives the chickens a superior taste and texture.

Mt Barker Free Range Chicken offers a range of products including fresh cuts of chicken, sausages, schnitzels, kebabs and ready-to eat meals.

Linley Valley Pork

Linley Valley Pork farms breed, process and supply the finest, freshest, quality pork to butchers and retailers across Western Australia.

Linley Valley’s free-range farm in the Great Southern Region is located in the Porongurups, one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. Happy and free to roam, the free-range pigs are nurtured outdoors, breathing clean air and fed a natural diet.

Linley Valley Pork partners with chosen butchers and retailers who take pride in rewarding customers with the ultimate flavour experience, created by a shared belief: that the best flavour comes from the best-cared for animals, raised and prepared with integrity in the purest of environments.
