🐔🥚 A quick update from the farm 🥚🐔
Firstly — THANK YOU.
The support for our eggs has been incredible, and lately we’ve been selling out every single day. We know this has been frustrating for some customers, and we truly appreciate your patience while we work hard to keep up with demand.

To make sure we never compromise on quality, we’ve made the decision to grow carefully rather than rush production.

🚜 The good news:
A brand new hen house is on the way and will increase our egg supply by around 50%!

⏳ It will take approximately 2–3 months before everything is fully up and running, but this expansion will help us supply more of you consistently while keeping the same standards you expect from us.

In the meantime:
🥚 Eggs will still be available daily until sold out

Thank you again for supporting local farming and choosing quality eggs from happy hens. Your support is helping us grow the right way 💛

Getting the fields ready for maize 🌽
Spreading organic fertiliser today — it’s not the prettiest smell, we know 😅
Thanks to our lovely neighbours for bearing with us… promise it’s worth it when the crops come in!

🎉 We’re 5 years old! 🎉
Five years ago we had a slightly wild idea: “What if we sold eggs and honey from a vending machine… and people actually bought them?” Turns out - you did. A lot. 😄🥚🍯

Since then, we’ve kept the eggs fresh, the honey flowing, and the machine (mostly) on its best behaviour… emphasis on mostly.

Thank you for supporting us, trusting us with your breakfasts, and for those moments you’ve patiently waited while the machine had a little think about life.

Here’s to 5 years of simple, honest goodness - and plenty more to come! 🐝🐓

It’s not just eggs here at the farm 🥚🌿
Spring has arrived, and that means one very special thing… our lambing season is in full swing! 🐑💛 We’re delighted to share that we now have beautiful newborn lambs joining us, bringing lots of energy (and cuteness!) to the fields.
While many of you know us for our fresh eggs, there’s so much more happening here every day. From early mornings in the hen house to round-the-clock care for our newest arrivals, farm life is as busy as ever.
If you’re passing by, keep an eye out—you might just spot these little ones bouncing around! 🌼

A lot of hard work has gone into the planting of the orchard 💪 so hopefully the hens enjoy it! 🐓

Sion Hunter of Highfield Farm in Highfield Lane has started planting a mix of apple, pear, cherry and plum trees on a section of his 80 hectare site...

Started planting our organic orchard this week 🌱

We’ve put in a mix of apples, pears, cherries and plums, with the aim of building a healthy, natural system over time. The sheep and chickens will graze among the trees, helping manage the grass and naturally improve the soil as they go 🐑🐓

Letting the hens roam through the orchard should mean better-tasting eggs too, with a more varied natural diet from grasses, insects and whatever they find scratching around between the trees 🥚🌿

It’s just the beginning, but it’s good to see the first trees in the ground. Looking forward to watching it all grow in the years ahead 🌳

Big thank you to everyone who’s been returning their egg trays and boxes to the farm shop 🙌
It really helps us reuse and reduce waste — and every little bit makes a difference.
Reuse > recycle > landfill 🥚♻️

The Most Filling Breakfast, According to Nutritionists 💪🍳

They help you feel full right away and keep your energy up throughout the day. I’ve personally noticed that on the mornings I manage an omelette before work, I snack less and feel way more mentally clear.
As nutritionist Leticia Carrera puts it: “Eggs reduce fatigue and improve physical and mental productivity.”
Simple, filling, and effective — breakfast win. 💪🍳
