NFU Poultry Industry Programme 2024/25, Free range egg producer, South

I grew up on my dad’s free range farm. He’s been doing poultry for the last 30 years or so.

We recently took up a tenancy about half an hour from our current home farm and have set up a new company there where we have about 40,000 free range laying hens at that new site, in addition to the 20,000 at the home farm.

I’m looking forward to learning new things and picking up from other producers well as getting to understand more about the different sides of the sector – not just the farming, but also from the commercial side.
