Barn good eggs

Raised
with care

Henergy was founded on a simple, non-negotiable belief: happy, stress-free hens lay remarkably delicious eggs. That’s why we were New Zealand’s pioneers in SPCA-approved barn-style farming.

Sustainability

Sustainability means being able to keep going at what you’re doing. So, we’re good to our people and our hens. We use natural rather than mechanical ventilation in our barns, which uses much less electricity and lets natural light into the barn - this is easier on the planet as well as better for the chickens. And we keep planting trees. Lots and lots of trees. We want the planet to be as happy as our chickens.

The Henergy way

Our gold standards
of animal welfare

SPCA

SPCA Blue Tick Approved

Every single Henergy farm undergoes independent SPCA audits. From air quality to roosting space, our farms meet New Zealand's strictest welfare criteria.

100%

True Cage-Free Liberty

We said goodbye to cages back in 1999. Our hens live in giant communal barns where they stretch, nest, dust-bathe, and socialize comfortably out of the elements.

Feed

Nutrient-Rich Grains

A healthy hen lays a delicious egg. Our flocks enjoy a bespoke, locally-sourced multigrain recipe enriched with natural proteins, vitamins, and calcium.
