Free Range

Free-range refers to a farming method where animals, such as chickens or pigs, are allowed outdoor access beyond confined spaces. This approach aims to promote better animal welfare by providing natural behaviors like grazing, foraging, or roaming. Regulations vary, but typically, free-range animals spend part of their day outdoors in open environments, which can contribute to healthier animals and often results in higher-quality products. The term is used in labeling to indicate that the animals were raised with more space and natural conditions compared to traditional confined methods.
