Welcome to our Free Range Farm and Shop
I’m Lindy, the founder of Red Barn Free Range Farm Foods
RED BARN
FARM
locally grown chicken, beef, lamb, pork, eggs & dairy
real free range food, delivered to your door
Red Barn Free Range Farm began operations in 2009, and has grown to become a household name in many of our local towns. Our business is still tiny, but we supply the best totally free-range chicken & eggs, beef, pork and lamb that you will ever eat!
It goes without saying, that we do not use antibiotics, nor do we inject brine into our chickens. Promoting ethical, humane, and sustainable farming is our goal.
Red Barn has grown to be so much #MoreThanJustChicken
We now buy in locally raised free-range beef, pork, lamb, a full range of dairy products and plenty of other locally made goodies.
You can choose to have your order delivered to your door from (PE to Cape Town) or you can visit our beautiful new farm shop (just near the George Airport)
The main focus is FARM to FORK and supporting our local artisan food producers and farmers
However, we have select shops in various areas that supply our goods, but our main focus is to supply you directly from our farm shop.
There are also some “Chicken Clubs” which are groups of customers ordering together monthly to share delivery costs. read more here

Moveable chicken houses
Our hens are specially selected for their hardiness.
Growing chickens in a free range environment means they need to be tough and savvy to withstand predators and the elements. Our Boschveld hens are indigenous to South Africa. They are also localized, which means that they have adapted to the conditions on our specific farm and on the Garden Route. We recently brought in some Lohman hens as well and they are a wonderfully friendly bunch!
Red Barn’s BROILER CHICKENS
Free range meat chickens grown on pasture
Red Barn sources our broiler day old chicks in Mossel Bay and sometimes in Cape Town.
The chicks are brought to us (or our growers) only a few hours after being hatched. We believe it is important that chickens are not stressed in any way, so we prefer not to transport them longer distances. Also, it is very important to us to source locally wherever possible.
Meat chickens are grown for eight to ten weeks.
Baby chicks are kept warm and under lights for the first three weeks and then slowly let outside to enjoy the sunshine. They are kept in small batches so they always have plenty of space and can go outside at any time.
We are always asked what we feed our chickens.
It is important to understand that chickens need a balanced free range ration. We buy our specially made free range feed. So many people think chickens can just roam around and feed themselves! This is just not true.
Our chickens are fed “ad lib”
This means they can eat as much as they like, when they like.Our hens run on a lucerne patch where they love to hunt goggo’s.
We use all natural products like garlic, origanum oil, Diatomaceous Earth, lime etc to combat germs and disease. In short, we try to grow our chickens as close to nature as possible.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our products.
Above all, please note: We do not sell any live chickens, not laying hens or day olds, because that is not our business! 🙂
