Certified Humane Eggs India | First in Kerala

What is

Certified
Humane®?

Certified Humane® is an internationally recognised animal welfare certification run by Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) — a non-profit that sets and independently verifies rigorous standards for how farm animals are raised.

To earn the mark, a farm must pass a physical on-site audit by trained animal welfare assessors. There are no self-declarations — an actual assessor inspects every aspect of the farm against 200+ criteria.

Fresh Farm Goodness is the first Certified Humane approved egg farm in Kerala — independently listed on the official Certified Humane Asia website, verifiable by anyone.

What the standard covers

What Certified Humane Means on Our Farm

Space & housing

Adequate floor space, nesting areas, perches, and lighting — verified on-site at all our farms

Outdoor access

Daily access to real outdoor land — not a token door, but open fields our hens actually use.

Feed & nutrition

Quality feed with zero growth-promoting antibiotics — clean nutrition that supports natural behaviour.

Veterinary care

Regular flock monitoring and prompt treatment when needed — sick birds are never ignored.

Handling & transport

Low-stress handling for every hen, every day — reviewed and approved during each annual audit.

Annual independent audits

Full third-party audit every year — certification is maintained continuously, not earned once.

Kerala's first certified humane farm

How We Earned the Certification

Fresh Farm Goodness was founded in 2023 with a clear mission: to produce genuinely safe, ethical food for Indian families — started by a founder from outside agriculture, motivated by his own family's experience with pesticide-contaminated food.

The journey began at an animal welfare session at the Poultry Expo in Hyderabad. Earning the certification meant restructuring facilities, redesigning housing, providing outdoor access, and training every staff member in detail.

The result: calmer birds, healthier flocks, more consistent production — and the milestone of becoming the first Certified Humane approved poultry unit in Kerala.
