The Truth about Free Range
What you don’t see when you pick
up a “cheep” chicken from your
supermarket, is what kind of life the
chicken you are buying had. Do
you CARE? maybe you should?
Even Free range chickens from
those big suppliers are not really
FREE RANGE. All growers need
to do to comply to the free range
standard is to give them a little
more space and a little sunlight and
not put them in small cages. They
say nothing about growth
hormones, antibiotics, animal by-
products and the incredible stress (I
call it torture) that the chickens are
put through!
Free-ranged chicken is an
exceptional source of protein
especially if it is free of
antibiotics. Over half of the
antibiotics fed to mass-produced
chickens are identical to the ones
administered to humans. It has
been well publicized in the media,
overuse of such antibiotics can lead
to strains of bacteria resistant to
antibiotics, opening doors wider for
potential human diseases to
flourish.

Red Barn FREE Range Chickens are grown on my farm in George,
on the magnificent Garden Route of South Africa. Our farm has the
most beautiful view of the Outeniqua Mountain range, it’s close to
George Airport and about 10km from the centre of GEORGE. Our
Farm shop is open to the public map to Red Barn Free Range Farm
People often ask us why our chickens taste so good - so “in an
eggshell” I will try and explain why... Read here..
We absolutely love our chickens! As Filip says “We only sell what we
don’t eat..” and now we have some wonderful Free Range Pigs too!
This is me, Lindy, (aka “the fowl woman”) I’ve always had a dream to grow chickens in Free environment
with moveable shelters. People thought I was “cuckoo”.. maybe, but we’ve done it! After much learning
and many mistakes it’s a dream come true! we are now growing Big, Fat, happy, healthy,
FREE chickens and pigs that taste absolutely “Deevine”
Filip designed, developed and single handedly made our unique houses on
sleds that can be moved, fertilizing the ground after each batch of chickens (an
added bonus!) You can see more about the house construction in the Gallery.
Now we are doing the same with our pigs. They are such wonderful animals and
deserve to be treated with respect. Free range pork tastes VERY good and it’s really
LEAN.
Filip has designed a COLD smoker to give our bacon that wonderful old fashioned
“smokey” taste. Most of the smoked products that you buy nowadays are “smoked”
using CHEMICALS, these are not only bad for you but they really don’t taste the
same as the REAL smoked pork! See our new online order page for more details
