Bannockburn Free Range was launched in 2010 and is the newest
addition to the Turi Foods family.
Grown locally to meet Free Range Authority guidelines, these birds
are also processed chemically free at our Thomastown plant.
The growing and processing standards for Free Range meat birds are
set by FREPA (Free Range Egg and Poultry Australia Ltd) and cover
the areas of: reduced stocking densities in sheds, size and
management of outside grazing areas, fencing for protection from
predators, special dietary guidelines, as well as farms agreement
to comply with Codes of Practice for Welfare of Poultry and
National Biosecurity Regulations.
All farms are audited on a regular basis, and birds may only be
used as Free Range upon FREPA Accreditation.
The small rural town of Bannockburn is set off the Midland
Highway, about 22km north-west of Geelong. It is the centre of our
farming operations at Turi foods. It is the location of our breeder
farms and hatchery. It was therefore the obvious choice when naming
our new free range line.
