Our Healthcare Ingredients Range


We provide premium healthcare ingredients from the farms the world needs for customers and consumers seeking a better future.


At Silver Fern Farms we’re on a journey to establish nature positive farming at the heart of our business, so we are constantly looking for more sustainable ways to move our industry forward. We care about how our animals are raised, valuing the ‘whole’ product while addressing the issues of waste, sustainability, and respecting animals through-out our chain of care.
