Bannockburn Free Range was launched in 2010 and is the newest addition to the Turi Foods family.
Grown locally to meet Free Range Authority guidelines, these birds are also processed chemically free at our Thomastown plant.
The growing and processing standards for Free Range meat birds are set by FREPA (Free Range Egg and Poultry Australia Ltd) and cover the areas of: reduced stocking densities in sheds, size and management of outside grazing areas, fencing for protection from predators, special dietary guidelines, as well as farms agreement to comply with Codes of Practice for Welfare of Poultry and National Biosecurity Regulations. All farms are audited on a regular basis, and birds may only be used as Free Range upon FREPA Accreditation.
The small rural town of Bannockburn is set off the Midland Highway, about 22km north-west of Geelong. It is the centre of our farming operations at Turi foods. It is the location of our breeder farms and hatchery. It was therefore the obvious choice when naming our new free range line.
