OUR FARM
ABOUT US
Kangaroo Island Free Range Eggs is a family owned and operated farm situated on the pristine Kangaroo Island, South Australia, producing pasture raised eggs from true free range hens. Tom and Fiona Fryar established Kangaroo Island Free Range Eggs in 1992 with just 400 hens.
​
Today, Tom and Fiona with their sons, Thomas and Jason and wives Kirby and Bonnie run 70,000 pastured full beaked hens that range on the farm at no more than 190 hens to the hectare. With over 70 individual raised mobile chicken sheds, the hens are never locked and free to roam on open pasture - true free range!
​
The hens eat a natural diet supplemented by a mixture of grains that are grown, harvested and crushed all on the farm.
​
Maremma Guardian Dogs live with the hens on the farm, keeping guard over them day and night to protect them from any predators.
​
Eggs are gathered daily and stored in a cool-room to ensure a product of excellent freshness and quality. The eggs are graded and packed all on the farm and then are sold and transported in refrigerated transport to stores and outlets in Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, regional South Australia, Melbourne and Sydney.
​
ACCREDITATION
