Week Three - Tread Softly
Enviroganic Farm
Find out how certified organic chicken and turkeys are raised naturally in the valleys of Murringo, southern New South Wales.
Week 3 of Australian Organic Awareness Month is dedicated to the growers and producers who tread softly upon the earth, such as Enviroganic Farm.
Nestled in the serene valleys of Murringo, southern NSW, Enviroganic Farm offers more than just certified organic chickens and turkeys. This family-operated farm embodies high standards of animal welfare and sustainable farming, setting a high bar for what it means to farm with integrity and compassion.
Since 1999, Angus and Sonya Dowling, along with their children, have dedicated themselves to creating a nurturing environment for their poultry. At Enviroganic Farm, chickens and turkeys roam freely across lush organic pastures, where they bask in the sun and enjoy the crisp, fresh air. This open space is more than just a luxury; it’s essential for their health and happiness. By providing a stress-free environment, the Dowling’s ensure that their birds grow up healthy and content.
A dedication to the land
The owners’ commitment to responsible stewardship is further reflected in the balanced diet of organic grains and legumes fed to their animals, which are carefully formulated with input from veterinary and nutritional experts. This balanced diet not only supports optimal health but also contributes to the exceptional flavor and quality of their meat.
Beyond their poultry, Enviroganic Farm raises certified organic lamb and grows their own wheat. Their use of non-inversion tillage and crop rotation systems maintains soil fertility and environmental health, ensuring their land continues to flourish. The Dowling family’s commitment extends beyond their farm to the broader community and environment. The family has planted native trees and set aside large areas for wildlife, helping balance the farm’s ecosystems.
For Enviroganic, treading softly on the land goes well beyond mere compliance with organic standards. Their award-winning chooks exemplify how superior quality emerges from a deep respect for both animals and the land, and the results are clear with every bite.
