In today's world, where consumers are becoming increasingly conscious about the sources of their food, free-range farming stands out as a sustainable and humane option. At Woodys, we are committed to practicing and promoting free-range farming, and here's why it matters:
 

1. Animal Welfare

Free-range farming allows animals to roam freely, engage in natural behaviors, and live in less stressful environments. This not only improves their quality of life but also ensures that they are healthier and happier. At Woodys, we believe that animals deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and free-range practices reflect this belief.

2. Quality of Meat

Animals raised in free-range environments tend to produce higher quality meat. The freedom to move and graze results in better muscle development and less fat accumulation, leading to meat that is leaner, more flavourful, and more nutritious. Our customers at Woodys often remark on the superior taste and texture of our products, which we attribute to free-range farming.

3. Environmental Sustainability

Free-range farming is not only good for animals but also beneficial for the environment. It reduces the need for artificial inputs like antibiotics and hormones, which can have negative impacts on ecosystems. Additionally, free-range systems often use rotational grazing practices that promote soil health and biodiversity. At Woodys, we are dedicated to sustainable farming practices that minimise our environmental footprint.

4. Consumer Trust and Transparency

Today's consumers want to know where their food comes from and how it is produced. By adopting free-range farming, we offer our customers transparency and peace of mind. They can trust that our products are not only high-quality but also ethically sourced. At Woodys, we prioritise building trust with our customers through our commitment to humane and sustainable practices.

5. Supporting Local Communities

Free-range farming supports local economies by creating jobs and fostering community development. At Woodys, we are proud to contribute to the local economy in Levin, providing employment opportunities and supporting other local businesses. Our commitment to supporting free-range farming is also a commitment to the wellbeing of our country.

At Woodys, we are passionate about these values and dedicated to supporting free-range and ethical farming for the benefit of our animals, our customers, and our planet.
