Pastured on species rich wild flower meadows......

Our eggs come from our small flock of about 50 hens which are a mix of pets, rescue hens and commercial hens. There run is just over an acre in size and surrounded by fox and badger proof fencing with electric fencing on top. Whilst they also share this space with our meat birds, the space is massive and because of the way we manage their run, you wouldn't know most of them were even there until feeding time. We allow allot of the thistles and rushes to grow fully on a cycled management rota which provides natural cover, and foraging habitat for the hens. This also allows the wild flowers to grow and providing for the bees, butterflies, insets, Goldfinches and small mammal food for owls. We've also planted several small tree copses of apple, hazel and willow, which once more established, will provide additional food for both the hens and other species. We use the sheep to help maintain the vegetation in combination with machinery.

Most of our eggs are sold direct to subscribed customers but we do get surplus eggs which we offer to our visitors. According to our customers, they cant find eggs anywhere else that taste like these, and the egg yolks are a bright golden yellow colour due to the hens naturally foraged diet, and not because they have been artificially fed marigold and turmeric!
