Elgin Free Range Eggs | Good Business Journey | Woolworths SA

Jeanne lives on a farm in Elgin in the Western Cape, a place she calls her “haven”. Here she provides the best possible environment she can for the animals she raises.

Jeanne started raising free-range chickens in her backyard to ensure that her family only ate chickens raised according to strict animal welfare principles – the same principles she applies today: treating animals with respect and ensuring that they have space to roam freely and behave normally, with access to good food, fresh water, sunshine, and shelter.

With rigorous quality standards in place, her business, Elgin Free Range Chickens, has become the largest independent free range chicken farm in South Africa. Jeanne supplies Woolworths with certified free range chicken that is free from animal by-products, antibiotics and growth promoters.
