Located in the Somerset region, the chicken farm benefits from abundant water infrastructure, including 13 working bores with a capacity to produce 1.816 million litres of water a day, almost four times what’s required for current bird production.

Supporting these are six dams strategically located across the property and an extensive pipe and irrigation system with two irrigation pumps delivering water through 100mm poly pipe mains to a series of 12 hydrants across the property, providing continuous 24/7 supply of water for the chicken and other rural enterprises, with adequate capacity to support future growth.
