Description
Madelaine started her business Madelaine's Eggs when she was eight years old back in 2002 as part of her home education curriculum. Her parents believed that being able to interact with all sorts of people and learning how to establish and run a business would be invaluable skills throughout life.
Now fifteen years later, 23 year old Madelaine Scott manages 3,000 certified organic laying hens on her family farm Hollyburton Park located in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria. Her chickens, and their eggs, are NASAA certified organic, which means the chicken must be free range, be fed certified organic feed - feed which has no added hormones, no antibiotics - and not be exposed to any artificial fertilisers or pesticides on the pasture or in the grains the chickens eat (even from surrounding farms). GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are also restricted entirely for organic standard compliance.
