Urgent need for more freerange farms

 

Many egg farms have closed down in recent years, from big producers with hundreds of thousands of hens, to small freerange operators with a few hundred birds. Egg shortages in supermarkets have highlighted the problem and clearly shown the need for more freerange farms to be set up in each region. Clear consumer demand for free range eggs has generated a strong increase in the number of people wanting to start their own free range egg business.Ideally, every township should have n nearby egg producer to limit the food miles created by trucking eggs across the country to supermarket shelves.

A good starting point is reading our eBook on starting a free range farm. For details contact us through the website or directly by email.
