Elgin produces authentic free range chicken of a superior quality whilst upholding our core value of respectful and humane farming practices.
At Elgin Free Range Chickens we do not use the term ‘free range’ loosely. In fact, we take it very seriously.
Not only are we the largest independent free range chicken farming operation in South Africa, but we also pride ourselves on the excellence of our operations and our state-of-the-art facilities. We make every effort to ensure our rigorous quality standards are met:
Stringent quality control and food safety measures are in place at every step of the way to ensure consumers receive what they are promised: Stress-free, antibiotic-free, animal by-product free, fish meal free, growth promoter free and unmistakably tasty chicken.
We are a HACCP certified company, we have strict monitoring procedures and do regular daily checks on all aspects of quality.
We guarantee quality through our Department of Agriculture Certification, Halaal Certification and our Free Range Certification by LTL Auditors (Woolworths’ independent free range auditors).
It is our moral obligation to therapeutically treat unwell chickens. When a chicken falls ill, we work very closely with our avian veterinarian. Medication is administered through water supply, with firm adherence to withdrawal periods.
We take our reputation for customer service, consumer care and producing world-class quality products very seriously.
