What makes our eggs different?
-
Enhanced Nutrition: Pasture-raised eggs are richer in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and beta-carotene. This is due to the hens' diverse diet of grass, insects, and other natural foods.
-
Better Taste: Many people find that pasture-raised eggs have a richer, more flavorful taste compared to conventional eggs, thanks to the varied diet of the hens.
-
Improved Animal Welfare: Hens raised on pasture enjoy a higher quality of life, with ample space to roam, forage, and engage in natural behaviors. This humane treatment leads to healthier, happier birds.
-
Environmental Benefits: Pasture-raised farming practices are often more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Rotational grazing helps maintain soil health, reduces erosion, and promotes biodiversity.
-
Lower Risk of Contamination: Pasture-raised eggs are less likely to be contaminated with harmful bacteria like Salmonella, as the hens are not confined to crowded, unsanitary conditions.
Environment
Our hens forage on lush green pastures of Castor whilst enjoying their natural environment.
We believe in giving our hens the best life possible, which not only ensures their well-being but also results in eggs that are rich in flavor and packed with nutrients.
Each day, our hens return to their cozy, clean nesting boxes to lay, providing us with a steady supply of fresh, high-quality produce.
On average, our hens lay eggs almost daily, ensuring a consistent and abundant supply for our community.

Food & Drink
As well as grazing on fresh pasture, our hens are supplemented with organic feed, developed especially for laying hens.
They are hydrated with fresh water which is filtered to remove Trihalomethanes and Microplastics.
We believe in providing our hens with the very best diet so you know exactly what goes into their body, goes into your body.
