This is a wonderful initiative that will give you the marketing edge you need, and deserve, to sell your humanely farmed livestock.

With the lack of a national standard identifying just what free range is, it has been left to industry to develop their own codes that will offer consumers the assurance they are looking for. Having your products endorsed with the Humane Choice certification will leave no doubt that your livestock are truly free range and farmed humanely, giving people confidence in the meat they purchase.

Humane Choice enables you to set yourself apart from 'feedlot free range' systems that allow huge stocking densities.

Please read the Standards and the Rules carefully to ensure that you comply and agree with the Humane Choice philosophy. The Standards are available from the menu bar of this website. You will also be required to sign a Licensing Agreement once your application has been accepted and a favourable audit report is received.

All facilities relating to the production of your livestock are to be accredited. Stock will be checked for condition, feed, fencing, watering points and paddocks will be examined and farm records will be inspected for compliance with the Humane Choice Standards.

Each year you will be required to update your Food Safety Assessment (pigs only) and undergo a desk audit of associated records and scheduled farm audits as per your Humane Choice agreement.
