I don’t always like to link to international AG news. I have to draw the line somewhere.
But I liked this story in the York Press about a free range operation in the UK that started out with six hens and now produces a million free range eggs a week. Yes, a week. That’s a lot of egg collecting.
The family now also owns a second farm for organics.
Farmgirl Susan Potter runs the family operation with her husband and two sons.
On their Yorkshire Farmhouse Eggs site, Susan is credited with getting the whole thing going by buying hens to feed her family.
The farm is high-tech too. Their website allows egg buyers to trace their eggs to the flock from which they came.
