On this page you will find details of how the eggs are gathered, about the hens and pricing etc

Laurel Farm has been selling eggs for over five years.
We were concerned with hens being kept in cages and wanted to set up a system ,where the hens would be free to roam and follow their natural habits.

Hens are in batches of 200, each batch are housed separately and have their own range.

The range is a 3 acre field divided into three.
It is fenced with chicken wire to help protect
the hens from predators


There are no artificial fertilisers or chemicals used on the land.

The hens lay their eggs in nesting boxes.


 

The eggs are collected in the morning and evenings.

The grading, packing and labelling is all done on the farm by family members.
