Cartons labelled free range often show birds in green fields, yet in reality hens are typically crammed into sheds with access to a small dirt yard stocked at up to 10,000 birds per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"971\"\u003eWhen you picture what free range should really look like, you are picturing Belvedere’s pasture raised hens. These birds live outdoors on living pastures 24\/7, sleeping and laying in mobile sheds that are moved every single week to fresh ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003eTrue pasture raised hens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003eBelvedere’s hens roam the pastures at extremely low density, at less than one tenth of the stocking rate allowed under standard free range rules. This means plenty of space to dust bathe, chase insects, scratch through the soil and behave like real chooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1460\"\u003eTheir natural foraging and manure add fertility back into the land, helping Belvedere grow rich forage for the rest of their animals. This is farming as part of an ecosystem, not apart from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1494\"\u003eFood grown in an ecosystem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003eBelvedere Farm is built around the belief that good food should be grown within thriving, interconnected ecosystems. They actively work to heal the disconnection between farming, nature and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"2031\"\u003eRather than producing food in sheds or industrial systems, Belvedere farms alongside nature, where cattle, pigs, chickens, native birds, trees and wildlife can all coexist. Their vision is for a decentralised, farmer led food system where animals are treated with dignity, land is cared for, and rural communities can flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2033\" data-end=\"2057\"\u003eFeed and nutrition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2182\"\u003eAlongside the insects and plants they forage from pasture, Belvedere supplements their hens with a balanced grain ration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2182\"\u003eGrain ingredients: wheat, maize, sorghum, bran and pollard, protein meals, vegetable oil, limestone, sodium bicarbonate, salt, choline chloride, amino acids, Riverina vitamin and mineral premix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2218\" data-end=\"2243\"\u003eThe eggs themselves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2245\" data-end=\"2442\"\u003eThe result is a delicious, firm, fresh egg with yolks that naturally vary in colour with the seasons. These are deeply flavourful eggs that many people describe as the best they have ever tasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2444\" data-end=\"2466\"\u003eFresh every week\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2468\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003eWe receive a fresh delivery of Belvedere Farm eggs each week and are proud to share them with our Spray-Free Farmacy community.
