Egg operations

Earlier this year at the height of the drought, the health and well-being of our pasture-raised, free range chickens at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms risked being compromised due to the increasingly poor quality of potable water available to our chickens. 

With the health of our chickens always being our number one priority, a large number of younger birds were vaccinated to ensure their health was not put in jeopardy. It has since come to light that that vaccine falls outside the regulator’s organic certification standards. We immediately contacted the regulator seeking their advice and they have now informed us that we will not be able to market our eggs as ‘organically certified’ for the period until all the birds are sold, which will likely take up to 16 months.  

This does not impact our biodynamic pastures or the way we produce our eggs,  just our ability to market our eggs as ‘certified organic’. Any questions please contact our Mulloon Creek Natural Farms’ General Manager Jim Steele.
