Over the years the farm has seen dairy and beef cows, pigs, sheep and poultry. One day it was decided around the kitchen table (all farming matters are discussed here) that free range eggs are where we want to move towards.

So this field was grassed down to make way for the hens in 2007 and after gaining planning permission to build a shed for them in February 2008, the first flock of 12,000 birds arrived and now can roam around the grass field or pop inside the shed whenever they feel like it.
