Becoming
Humane Choice Accredited
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.
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 to be accredited will be
examined by the Auditor. 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.
