To keep it simple, "Pastured" farming means the animal is living on pasture. It implements higher animal welfare and more sustainable practices. Our hens produce pastured eggs because they live in a mobile shed that is moved around the farm which allows them to roost in it at night, lay their eggs in the nest boxes in the morning and roam freely outside as they please the rest of the time. Our hens eat a much higher percentage of their natural diet and are able to express their natural behaviours, such as pecking and scratching. Being outdoors in the fresh air and the sun also means that they are able to stay healthy and fit.

The benefits of having pastured eggs are:

Undeniable freshness & enhanced flavour. The best healthy option:

• Less Cholesterol

• Reduced Saturated fat
• Increased Vitamin A, E & D
• More Omega 3

What inspired us to focus on pasture-raised practices and why did we choose this type of farming?

Paddy experienced and learned a lot by having hens of his own from a very young age. He worked and researched various farms that practised in different ways to broaden his knowledge. When it all comes down to it, well it’s pretty simple: it’s firstly the love for the animal. The way we farm is the way we believe that the animal should live out their life. The closest standard there is to allow that is the pastured standard. Secondly, as a small family farm, it is our lifestyle, it is our home. We get immense joy out of being able to go outside for walks with our young daughter amongst our happy animals. Lastly, we are what we eat, we aim to produce the most nutritious egg there is, we believe in our product, and there are many nutritional benefits to our eggs.

This type of farming requires a lot more effort and work but it is worth it!

We became farmers for various reasons, and we love what we do, just like the good old saying goes, what you get out of it is what you put into it!
