Free-range eggs buying guide
The brands that meet the recommended model code of 1500 hens per hectare.
How 'free range' are your eggs?
Last updated: 19 September 2018
It's not easy to find 'real' free range eggs.
In 2017 the government introduced a free range egg standard that fails consumers. The standard allows producers to pack 10,000 hens into a hectare with no mandate for hens to actually spend time outdoors. This is entirely in contrast to consumers' expectations for free range eggs and the CSIRO's Model Code of Practice, which says there should be a maximum of 1500 hens per hectare on an outdoor range.
Listed below are free range egg brands that meet the Model Code. This guide is based on self-declarations of maximum outdoor stocking density, provided to us either directly by egg producers or via claims on their packaging and advertising material.
We also show you the 'free range' egg brands that:
- haven't made their stocking densities available to us
- have been fined by the Federal Court for false and misleading free range egg claims

Do you have questions about the Good Farmer?
We receive many questions from consumers wanting to know more about the Good Farmer Free Range Eggs.
Good Farmer Free Range Eggs state a stocking density of 1500 hens per hectare which is in line with the Model Code of Practice. This brand of eggs has not been the subject of any investigation by the ACCC.
Eggs from the Good Farmer come from a farm in Gingin, WA which is owned by Snowdale Holdings. In July 2017, Snowdale Holdings were fined $750,000 for making false or misleading representations that its eggs were free range. The egg brands involved in this case were Eggs by Ellah, Swan Valley Free Range and Wanneroo Free Range.
So The Good Farmer eggs do meet the CHOICE free range egg test but their parent company has been caught out in the past for misleading people on their free range eggs.
