Our Story
Grazing Girls is a family owned and run business operating for 8 years in the Scenic Rim. Neil, one of the founding owners, found pasture raised free range eggs an interesting concept and was keen on exploring this further. His background in welding and structural steel and also his love of farming meant he built his own chicken caravans and soon the concept of Grazing Girls became a reality.
Our 6,500 hens are grouped in age-specific flocks and relocated every few days to promote optimum pasture and soil health. The chicken caravans provide shelter and protection at night from potential predators. With a stocking density of less than 300 hens per hectare, our GG's have plenty of space to roam and forage as well as access to sunlight and fresh air as chickens should. By allowing our hens to roam the pasture freely, they don't over-graze the area, and their manure is distributed back amongst the soil, creating a nutrient-rich material for grass and pasture crops to utilise and flourish. They're fed a nutritious blend of grain and pellet mix while also consuming a natural diet of insects and grasses.Â
Our pasture-raised eggs are available at selected cafes, butchers, and grocers around Brisbane, Logan, Redlands & the Gold Coast. We also offer a 'direct from the farm to your door' service to the public in selected suburbs across Brisbane on a fortnightly basis. We are a small family-run business passionate about sustainable agriculture and providing nutritious pasture-raised goodness fresh from our farm.Â

We recently launched a new service, providing grass-fed beef and lamb boxes on a seasonal basis direct from our farm to your door.
Our meat is completely pasture-raised, just like our eggs!Â
Our livestock are rotated through our diverse paddocks of chemical-free pasture and are not treated with pesticides, or given any hormones or antibiotics. Once our livestock are moved to a fresh paddock, the pasture is an ideal length for our chickens to roam and forage. By foraging and scratching around, our hens are distributing the livestock manure as well as aerating the soil which overall boosts pasture growth.Â
