The Lilydale PromiseLilydale Free Range Chickens are raised and tended to by farmers who take pride in their welfare and ensure that they are fed a nutritious, vitamin-enriched diet, including seeds, grains, peas and canola, and they are free to forage [have access to] for fresh grass. (source:
Lilydale Free Range Chickens are:
guaranteed free from antibiotic growth promoters and added hormones,
given access to range areas adjacent to their barn or to move around inside the barn,
Accredited by Free Range Eggs & Poultry Australia (FREPA) as free range (source:
Lilydale website)
Growth-promoting hormones have been illegal in Australia chicken production since 1967, and cannot be used in any chickens.
Antibiotics are not permitted for use, under accreditation guidelines from Free Range Eggs & Poultry Australia (FREPA). If chickens are treated with antibiotics for welfare reasons, they cannot be sold as free range.
Australian accreditation of free-range products is too loosely defined, but Lilydale is widely accepted as a benchmark for ethical commercial poultry production in Australia.
