Mirboo Pastured Poultry

Down in Mirboo, out past the township on Nicholls Road, you'll find Mirboo Pastured Poultry. These guys are all about raising happy, healthy chooks on proper green pasture. They reckon it's crucial to know where your food comes from, and they live that philosophy, making sure their birds get heaps of fresh air, sunshine, and plenty of space to forage around for bugs and dust bathe just like chickens should. You can tell they really care about their animals. If you're after live birds, this is the place. They specialise in laying hens, selling them as pullets ready to start laying, or as day-old chicks if you want to raise your own from scratch. They used to sell meat chickens too, but now they're solely focused on the layers. It's great to see a farm so dedicated to sustainable practices and animal welfare, and they've even got the Victorian Farmers' Market Association accreditation, so you know they're the real deal when it comes to local food production.
