Pasture Raised Eggs

Yorkshire Pasture Poultry's pasture raised eggs are back in stock!

Our hens in Holmfirth spend their days foraging, scratching and pecking their way through the fields. ​ They live out on pasture in a mobile coop called an egg mobile, the egg mobile is moved to a new area of pasture every 3-4 days. This style of rearing encourages a hens natural foraging behaviour and throughout the day they peck and scratch their way around a varied diet of fresh vegetation, insects, worms and microbes. The hens leave behind their valuable droppings which over time enrich the soil and feed back into the plant matter making for a more resilient nutrient dense pasture. The pasture is then left to rest for several weeks before the hens return, by which time the grasses are at a stage of regrowth that is optimal for grazing once again.

All that foraging makes for some excellent eggs that are rich in taste and natural in colour.
