Quail Valley Free Range is proud to be a farm that is SPCA Certified® for the eggs we supply throughout New Zealand.

“SPCA Certified is pleased to see Quail Valley Free Range continuing to carry the SPCA Certified® blue badge across its free range and barn egg products, a commitment they have maintained since 2017. Working with producers like Ewing Poultry helps ensure New Zealand consumers have access to a wide range of egg choices that meet higher animal welfare standards. When shoppers choose SPCA Certified eggs, they can do so with confidence knowing the hens have been farmed with care and their welfare prioritised” says SPCA Certified National Manager, Dr Kelly Drake.

Paul Ewing, General Manager of Quail Valley Free Range, says the certification reflects the farm’s long-held values.

“The high SPCA Certified® animal welfare standards align closely with our farming philosophy. We’re committed to producing food responsibly, and we fully support consumer awareness about how their food is farmed.”

“Our priority is the wellbeing of our hens. We are dedicated to providing the best possible conditions and producing nutritious, great-tasting eggs. In looking toward a sustainable future, we reviewed leading European welfare standards for free range and barn systems. We found that SPCA Certified® aligns strongly with both EU benchmarks and our own commitment to exceptional animal welfare,” he says.

Our Free Range and Barn eggs are available in the beautiful South Island, including at selected Pak’nSave, New World, Fresh Choice, Woolworths and Four Square stores across Christchurch, Kaikoura, Marlborough, Nelson, and the Tasman regions.
