Discover Certified Organic Farming with Free Range Chickens, Sustainable Practices, and Unmatched Animal Welfare Standards at Inglewood Organic

Certified Organic

Certified Organic refers to farming practices that adhere to strict national standards aimed at protecting the environment, promoting animal welfare, and producing healthy, natural food. For a farm to earn organic certification, it must pass regular independent audits that ensure it meets these high standards across all operations from soil health to animal care and feed.

At Inglewood Organic, our chickens are raised in full compliance with organic certification standards. They have 24-hour access to open paddocks, where they can roam freely and forage naturally. We don’t take shortcuts—our farming practices prioritise the health and well-being of the animals, the soil, and the land for future generations.

Being certified organic is a commitment to doing things the right way, not the easy way. It means producing food that is not only wholesome and full of flavour but grown with integrity, care, and respect for the environment.

Free Range

At Inglewood Organic, our chickens are raised in the best Free Range conditions you can get, with 24/7 access to large pastures where they can forage naturally. What sets us apart is that our Free Range practices are also Certified Organic, elevating them beyond the basic Free Range label.

Our chickens thrive in open spaces with plenty of room to roam, fed certified organic, non-GMO feed, and cared for with the highest standards of animal welfare. This holistic approach ensures healthier chickens and better meat quality. We ensure every part of our process reflects our commitment to quality and sustainability.

The difference is clear. Inglewood Organic Chicken is Free Range done the Organic way—a combination that guarantees the highest standards of animal welfare, environmental care, and superior quality.

Sustainable

We are committed to farming practices that work with nature to nurture the land, protect ecosystems, and ensure long-term productivity. Sustainable farming requires patience and care, but we believe it’s worth the investment to leave the land better for future generations.

Our practices focus on building a healthy, balanced ecosystem. By rotating crops, composting organic matter, and improving soil structure, we create a resilient foundation that supports plants, animals, and biodiversity. Composting chicken manure and plant material enriches the soil with natural nutrients, reducing waste and fostering healthier crops while enhancing the land’s ability to retain water and prevent erosion.

Sustainability is about more than farming—it’s about regeneration and stewardship. At Inglewood Organic, we are dedicated to doing things the right way, creating a thriving farm that supports the environment today and into the future.

Animal Welfare

At Inglewood Organic, animal welfare is our priority. Our chickens are raised under the highest level of care and comfort thanks to our certified organic standards. We provide them with spacious, uncrowded environments, allowing them to roam freely, forage, and express natural behaviours. This ensures they live healthy, happy lives, which translates to better meat quality.

We maintain low stocking densities, ensuring our chickens are never overcrowded and always have ample room to move. By allowing them to follow natural rhythms with 24-hour access to pasture, we support their physical and mental health. We also avoid artificial lighting and unnecessary medications, letting the chickens live in harmony with their environment. This approach creates a truly humane farming system that prioritises the needs of the animals, ensuring they receive the best care possible.

Bird Netting

At Inglewood Organic, keeping our chickens safe is essential to having happy, stress-free chickens. Our bird netting provides a protective barrier from predators like hawks and eagles while allowing our chooks to roam freely outside the shed and enjoy their organic, free-range lifestyle. This innovative solution also helps prevent the spread of diseases from wild birds, ensuring the health of our flock.

Designed to coexist with the natural ecosystem, our netting doesn’t disrupt native birds or wildlife, preserving the balance of our thriving bushland. It’s a simple yet effective way we protect our chickens, safeguarding their well-being while staying true to our sustainable farming principles.

Compost

At Inglewood Organic, chicken manure is transformed into nutrient-rich compost that revitalizes the soil, boosts crop yields, and strengthens ground cover. Rich in nitrogen, chicken waste is a natural fertilizer that promotes soil fertility, improves moisture retention, and reduces reliance on synthetic chemicals.

Composting isn’t just piling up manure—it’s a precise process. We monitor temperature, balance carbon-to-nitrogen ratios, and turn the piles regularly to ensure optimal conditions. This sustainable practice not only enhances our farm but also helps reduce methane emissions. It’s a closed-loop system where chickens, soil, and crops work together to create a thriving, regenerative ecosystem.

Exclusion Fencing

At Inglewood Organic, exclusion fencing is our farm’s ultimate security system, safeguarding our chickens from predators foxes, wild cats and dogs. This fencing creates a secure environment, ensuring our chickens can forage and roam freely without fear, while also protecting the delicate balance of our farm’s ecosystem.

Think of it as creating a protected sanctuary: the chickens have exclusive access to their paddocks, while native wildlife like kangaroos and wallabies are free to enjoy their natural habitats undisturbed. Exclusion fencing is more than protection—it’s a commitment to safety, sustainability, and harmony between farming and the natural world.

Growing Our Own Grain

At Inglewood Organic, growing our own grain is a commitment to quality, sustainability, and true organic principles. By producing 100% Certified Organic grain, free from chemicals, GMOs, and pesticides, we ensure our chickens are fed with the best nutrition. This process allows us to control every stage, from planting to harvest, while maintaining high standards and reducing reliance on external suppliers. Our sustainable practices preserve soil health, support biodiversity, and reduce erosion. Ultimately, growing our own grain reflects our dedication to holistic, sustainable farming that benefits both our chickens and the environment.
