 It's a family business, the true free range as you can see how happy they are. On some of Victoria's greenest fields, these chickens are free to roam, under the watch of fluffy white marama dogs. So the dogs don't require any training, it's a natural instinct. In history they were Italian sheep dogs and they protect day and night, so from hawks and eagles during the day and foxes at night just by monitoring the perimeter like security. Cattle and sheep farmers Jill and Kate Warner set up the business to produce superior free range eggs. Their chickens housed in purpose built caravans that can be moved around to help fertilise the fields. So the caravan concept is that the birds are free to come and go whenever they like. The caravan are perching rows where they come and sleep at night time and the nesting box is in the middle. It's on a gradient so they can hop in there, lay their eggs and then the eggs roll into the centre and then we use a conveyor belt to roll the eggs out to the person collecting. This is our grading machine. The eggs come through, go over a light where we look for cracks in the section. So we take those eggs out, the rest come through and get sent to our PIC code so the tracer will go back to our farm and then they're weighed on a counterweight system and packaged up ready to go out to shop some cafes. That's it. OK. Yep. Yep. Rising demand for free range eggs has seen this business grow from supplying 2,800 eggs a week to 28,000 in just four years. I prefer to use free range produce wherever possible. The cooks are running around in paddocks. They're in the sun, they're enjoying their life. And it's not just cooks who are catching on. Our customers are local grosses, restaurants and cafes down at Warnable, across the Geelong and into Melbourne as well. Egg farming is a labour intensive business and the Warners hope one day to employ managers so they can take a break from their busy routine. So we can have a holiday but we can't have one together. As a rule we'd work seven days a week and we'd work until we get up in the morning until basically go to bed at night. The Warners joined other local producers to share their experiences at a changing places through food event at Carite in Victoria's south west. Business Victoria local events is the Victorian Government's new year round small business events program. Events like this are incredibly important because innovative businesses have the real potential to enliven the whole district. We've got a little Artisan chocolate shop in Port Ferry. Many rule producers work in isolation so events like this give them an opportunity to get to know each other and share information. These local events prioritise girls training for newly arrived migrants, refugees, unemployed people, women, Aboriginal businesses and those people with disabilities. World famous chef Dan Hunter owns Bray Restaurant previously listed among the world's top 50. Last financial year alone we injected $1.7 million into the Biuregar economy just through payroll. We actively focus on sourcing local people, employing local people and supporting our community. And there's no better way than to get people excited about their produce than to have it celebrated in a restaurant like ours. We're here to reach out to other small producers and work together to create a greater, I guess, noise that people recognise us in regional Victoria. I think they're really important and it's a brilliant initiative of the state government and the local councillors to do it because it brings the public of conversation and gives it some airplay and encourages people to talk about it and connect through these businesses. Oh, look, I think it was a good opportunity to be able to connect with some local growers and people working in the hospitality business in this area.
