Freeranger website stolen

 Our farm website freeranger.com.au is invisible to consumers.We have been trying to get our Internet Service Providers Ventra IP and Swoop Broadband to rectify the problem by reregistering our domain name: A couple of days ago we were notified by domain rescue:"Sorry we can no longer help with that domain name. Someone called Cameron Fraser registered yesterday via drop.com.au"

It seems to be remarkably easy for a domain name to be stolen. surely checks and balances should be in place! His email address is cameron.fraser@mail.com He has just contacted us saying he may sell the domain for $800.We have no idea how long it will take to sort this out   -  if ever!!

 After extensive research, Eggs are now said to provide the highest quality protein of all food sources, closely matching human requirements for essential amino acids. Australian Eggs says that an 18 month review of research shows that eggs contain 17 different vitamins nutrients compared with the 13 that were previously recognised, The additional nutrients include Biotin (vitamin B7, Omega 3 fatty acids, Lutein and Zeaxanthin.

Set up your own free range egg business

 Successful marketing by corporate egg producers, together with massive promotions by supermarkets have resulted in total domination of the egg industry by big businesses. This presents more opportunities for small-scale producers to meet the needs of many local families who want to buy genuine free range eggs.

What is The Carnivore Diet?

 In recent months, we’ve noticed that a number of our customers have boosted their egg purchases considerably. A common link between them is that they have moved to a carnivore diet. That doesn’t mean that they only eat meat.The diet is a dietary regimen that involves consuming only animal products while excluding all plant-based foods.

The diet emphasises eating eggs, meat and some dairy products, with no restrictions on quantities.

According to a 2013 study conducted by Boston University, adopting a carnivore diet could result in weight loss, enhanced heart health characterised by an average increase in HDL cholesterol of 5.1 mg/dl, decreased inflammation and fewer digestive issues. On the farm, we prefer a balanced diet with a wide range of vegetables as well as meat products. Hard to think of sitting down to a roast without potatoes etc.

Vital nutrition in eggs - even more in free range eggs

 Papers published by the US National Library of Medicine show that hen eggs provide choline, folate, vitamin D, iodine, B vitamins and high-quality protein and are not viewed by national bodies as a risk factor for hypercholesterolaemia and cardiovascular disease. The review evaluated recent high-quality evidence from randomised controlled trials and observational studies. It considered new areas of interest, such as weight management, protein metabolism, allergy risk and sustainability. In several cases, eggs increased muscle protein synthesis and lowered fat mass, which could support optimal body composition. Eggs within a meal improved satiety, which could translate into lower energy intakes. Academics have realised the nutritional value of eggs. Other research has confirmed that eggs from free range, well cared for chickens have been shown to be more nutritious than those from hens in cages or locked in barns. They are lower in cholesterol and saturated fats. They are also higher in Vitamins A, D and E, Omega 3, and Beta Carotene.

Sustainable and regenerative farming are keys to future production

 Sustainability is the fundamental principle of farm management at the Freeranger Eggs farm.

The stocking density of any farm animals is a critical factor in the long term sustainability of farmland. With chickens, the maximum stocking density of 1500 hens per hectare was established by the industry, academics, politicians and bureaucrats when they prepared the Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals (Domestic Poultry). Nutrients and trace elements in manure can accumulate in the soil, making it toxic for vegetation as well as polluting ground and surface water.

A laying hen produces half a cubic metre of manure a year. So with a stocking density of 10,000 hens per hectare approved by Ministers for Consumer Affairs, farmers who follow their advice will see their land covered with 5000 cubic metres of manure per hectare every year.

As chicken manure has the highest amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium of all manures, it will likely render the land useless for farming within a few years. Contamination of groundwater and water courses is also likely. Details of the farm process are on the freeranger website: freeranger.com.au
