Farm Story Henley Farms is a small micro re-generative farm that has rich black volcanic soil that is set in a pristine environment located in Kangaroo Ground, Victoria (approximately 32 kms from Melbourne CBD). Henley Farms is welfare driven . We Farm based on re-generative and organic principles to produce ethically pastured organic-fed free range eggs that are high quality, clean, fresh and delicious. Henley Farms is PASTURED PROOF certified and our hens feed on organic certified feed that comes from Country Heritage Organic (based in Australia) feeds. Our hens live in customised mobile caravans which provide shelter, nest boxes and perches which are moved regularly to fresh pasture. Protected by portable electrified mesh fencing (to keep foxes away), our hens have access to the outdoors all day every day where they display all their natural behaviours such as dust bathing, wing flapping, feasting on bugs whilst disturbing and re-generating the soil and adding their nitrogen rich manure. Our hens listen to classical music as they lay eggs, yes just like the wagyu’s! Henley Farms DO NOT spray any chemicals, artificial fertilisers and use any nasties at Henley Farms. Henley Farms DO NOT use any antibiotics, hormones, fungicides, pesticides, herbicides and egg colour additives. Henley Farms have managed it organically and continue to do the same into the future. With stocking density of just 150 birds per hectare, our hens at Henley Farms are completely cruelty free. Making our eggs not only a delicious choice but an ethical choice too.
