Freedom Farms: A Longstanding Commitment to Higher Welfare Chicken
As Australia’s longest-established poultry processor, Cordina has played a significant role in the evolution of the meat chicken industry. From pioneering fresh chicken and value-added poultry products to responding to changing consumer expectations, Cordina has consistently focused on quality, innovation and higher-welfare production. Central to this approach is a sustained commitment to animal welfare.
A Shared Commitment to Animal Welfare
Animal welfare is a core pillar of the Freedom Farms brand. Built on principles of transparency, care and continuous improvement, Freedom Farms reflects Cordina’s belief that strong welfare outcomes are fundamental to a sustainable poultry industry.
Through its partnership with RSPCA Australia, Freedom Farms operates in line with RSPCA Certified, ensuring farming practices are independently assessed against robust animal welfare standards and deliver meaningful, practical benefits for birds. This collaboration reflects a shared focus on outcomes that are science and evidence based and independently verified.
“Freedom Farms was created to offer higher-welfare chicken that is honest, affordable and grounded in real farming practices. Working with RSPCA Certified gives confidence that our approach delivers tangible welfare benefits and reflects the values we stand for.”
Delivering Meaningful Welfare Outcomes
In line with RSPCA Certified standards, Freedom Farms chickens benefit from conditions that support their health, comfort and ability to express natural behaviours. The program focuses on measurable welfare improvements that enhance quality of life and promote responsible farming practices across the supply chain.
By aligning with independently audited standards, Freedom Farms demonstrates how welfare commitments can move beyond claims and deliver outcomes that matter for animals, producers and consumers alike.
Building on a Strong Foundation
Cordina continues to build on its established foundations by combining experience, accountability and independent welfare assurance. The Freedom Farms brand reflects an ongoing commitment to higher-welfare farming and a belief that animal welfare should remain central to the future of the Australian poultry industry.
More than a poultry processor, Cordina is a trusted contributor to Australian food production. Through its partnership with RSPCA Australia, Freedom Farms demonstrates how shared values, clear standards and independent oversight can support better welfare outcomes while maintaining consumer trust.
