Henley Farms
North East Organics, Research
Henley Farms produce organic-fed, pastured, free range eggs.
You can buy the eggs online or at selected shops. If online, you can either make once-off purchases or, at a 12% discount, commit to a dozen eggs each week for 12 weeks.
The farm is Pastured Proof certified, which means that the chickens are raised outdoors with continuous and unrestricted daytime access to paddocks that are suitable for grazing and are provided with shade and shelter. Customised mobile caravans provide shelter, nest boxes and perches which are moved regularly to fresh pasture. They have a stocking density of just 150 birds per hectare.
The chickens feed on Certified Organic feed that comes from Country Heritage Feeds. They listen to classical music as they lay eggs. Henley Farms do not use any chemicals, artificial fertilisers, antibiotics, hormones, fungicides, pesticides, herbicides or egg colour additives.
