We are a family concern, based in South Devon. A family whose passion for poultry has grown from selling a few boxes of spare eggs at the garden gate to having a list of regular customers for our fresh eggs, hatching eggs, chicks and P.O.L ( point of lay ) hens.

Our breeding flocks are kept in a village a couple of miles from where we live. The broody hens, chicks and growers are cared for at home.The land in the village has been in the family since 1904 and our eldest son is the 5th generation to live there. Over the years each generation has kept poultry and other livestock to provide eggs and meat for their family. Not a great deal has changed.

​Our breeding flocks are closed flocks, carefully selected from our own birds, who are of breed standard and who are bred fit for purpose be it for eggs or meat, also to produce strong, healthy chicks. Only occasionally do we introduce a new cockerel to add to the bloodline

​We also run a mix flock of traditional heavy breed hens - my faithful broodies who each year between them raise hundreds of chicks.
Our birds are kept as naturally as possible, free to range, forage, dust bath, scratch about and raise young.
All our pure breeds are hatched and reared on site from our own breeding groups, thus reducing the chance of infection and illness.
