Eggs - Clarendon Farms - 600g - Dozen
Clarendon Farms attempts to maintain a consistent strong egg yolk colour. The layer diet we use contains maize and lucernes in different combinations depending on availability. The feed ingredients are grown on other organic farms. The hens range at low stocking rates over large pasture areas. However variations in egg yolk colour do occur. The pasture quality in a paddock can vary due to rainfall or how close the hens are rotated off that paddock to a new range. The age of the hens in a flock can have an impact. Young hens starting egg production can have a paler yolk colour.
No antibiotics, drugs, hormones, artificial fertilizers, pesticides, synthetic of chemical feed additives have been used in the production of these eggs. Sound regeneration farming practices are used and the hens are never confined.
The Hens are housed in small portable houses that are towed over the pasture. This helps protect the flock against disease avoiding the use of antibiotics and drugs. They are never confined in the houses. They are protected against predators by flock guardian dogs and electric fencing. The large outdoor feeders contain grains grown on other organic farms.
