9Dorf Farms are a 4th generation family owned business. They have been farming in the Lockyer Valley since 1918. They are passionate about sustainable farming, working with and improving the environment and producing ethically raised animals.

9Dorf Farms graze their animals in a free range rotational system. Their laying chickens follow behind the cows and pigs and fertilise and fumigate the paddocks as they go. This allows the chickens to roam and scratch and dig in the dirt for worms and bugs, whilst enjoying fresh air and sunshine.

Here are some key benefits of pasture raised, locally sourced eggs:

1. Nutrient Density: Eggs from pasture raised chickens tend to have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals due to the hens’ diverse and natural diet.
2. Animal Welfare: Pasture raised chickens have access to outdoor spaces, allowing them to express natural behaviors, forage for insects and plants, and generally lead a more humane and fulfilling life compared to caged or confined counterparts.
3. Environmental Impact: Local sourcing reduces the environmental impact associated with transporting eggs over long distances. Additionally, pasture-based systems can contribute positively to soil health and biodiversity.
4. No Antibiotics or Hormones: Many pasture raised egg producers avoid using antibiotics and hormones, providing consumers with a cleaner and more natural product.
5. Flavour and Quality: Eggs from pasture raised chickens often have a richer taste and vibrant yolk color. The eggs may also have a firmer texture, appealing to those who appreciate high-quality, natural eggs.
6. Supporting Local Economy: Purchasing locally sourced eggs supports local farmers and businesses, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient local economy.
7. Transparency and Traceability: Local sourcing allows consumers to have better visibility into the farming practices and conditions of the hens, promoting transparency and traceability in the food supply chain.
8. Community Connection: Buying locally sourced eggs, or any product for that matter helps build a connection between consumers and local farmers and in this case your butcher too!
