“Ingebra” is a small farm in Burra , 20 minutes from Canberra and is the home of a growing number of happy, thriving, free-range chickens.

Charlie has carried on the tradition of egg farming from her mother who for many years sold organic and free-range eggs at the markets.

Now the eggs are sold to a Canberra restaurant where the chef prides himself in using fresh and local produce.

There are no eggs available directly to the public. However, there are chickens for sale and manure. (please see hens page for details)

No pesticides are used in our paddocks and the hens are free to graze all day.

Apart from grazing, the chickens are fed a non meat meal pellet, vegetable scraps and fruit.

The chickens are protected from foxes with high fences and sheds further secured from feral cats. Our mareema dog takes care of the rest.
Young chickens are kept in smaller outdoor paddocks until they are old enough to fend for themselves. A white mesh canopy is being used to protect them from crow attacks.

We collect the eggs each day from their straw nests and place them in recycled trays in a dark insulated room.They are then delivered as early as on the day of lay and no more than one week from then.

We do not refrigerate or clean the eggs to avoid possible contamination and sweating.
