Egg-straordinarily Organic!

Why Organic? You’re doing your bit to support certified operators and build industry trust
Certified organic logos are a mark of trust that products have been verified to strict organic guidelines, such as the Australian Certified Organic Standard (ACOS). Certified organic operators have made a choice to subject themselves to rigorous audits by government-approved certification bodies. This allows them to prove their organic credentials and build consumer confidence in our growing industry.
You can be confident that any product carrying an organic certification label is 100 per cent organic grown and processed.
Why Organic? You’re choosing a system where livestock are free to range
One of the many benefits of organic systems is the importance placed on animal welfare. In Australia, all certified organic livestock (cows, sheep, chickens etc.) must be permitted to range freely. The specifics of this vary depending on the animal in question, but in simple terms, free range means that animals must be permitted to access outdoor areas during the day.
Why Organic? You’re supporting a system that is environmentally friendly
You may have heard that certified organic systems are a better option for the environment, but have you wondered why? Certified organic farms can help to combat global warming and the harsh effects of climate change through improved biodiversity and a focus on soil health and resilience, which in turn can help to reduce carbon emissions.
