Farmer Rod's Eggs Pasture Grazed Free Range
WELCOME TO FARMER ROD’S
New South Wales’ only free range RSPCA Approved egg farm
we’ve created the first and only free range egg farm in NSW to be audited and approved by the RSPCA under their “Approved Farming Scheme”.
Our hens have large paddocks in which to roam, forage, dust bathe and explore. Compared to the industry standard of 10,000 hens per hectare our stocking density is just 1250 hens per hectare. This means our hens have 8 times more space!
Inside their 5 star luxury accommodation, our hens compliment their diet with a blend of locally grown NSW whole grains.
Our philosophy of best practice animal welfare creates ethical, sustainable and responsible farming practices. Our mantra is simple.

NUTRITION
The Heart Foundation of Australia recommends that you can eat up to six or seven eggs each week. Eggs contain the “good cholesterol “ HDL, and thus have almost no effect on your blood cholesterol levels. Egg also yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two important antioxidants for eye health.
When compared to caged eggs, free range eggs contain:
- Three times more vitamin E
- Seven times more pro-vitamin A beta carotene
- A quarter less saturated fat
- A third less cholesterol
- Up to six times more vitamin D
- And significantly more vitamin B
