You can now get your hands on Yorkshire Pasture Poultry Eggs at The Honesty Store 🥚

Open Monday - Sunday 6am-8pm. The Honesty Store is a lovely self serve shop located on Hepworth Road right in the centre of Hepworth, Holmfirth.

Championing local producers, they stock all manor of things, pick up a hot coffee and brownie for a chilly stop over or grab milk, yoghurt, honey, EGGS! Baby and pet essentials, toiletries, pantry goods and more.

It’s a pleasure to be able to introduce my eggs to more people locally as the business grows. My eggs are always pasture raised and laid by my beautiful hens that scratch and peck their way around the fields. With coops constantly on the move the vegetation that supplements their diet is always fresh and plentiful. I go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and welfare is the best in the industry.

If you’re looking to be added to my regular delivery round I’m currently at capacity. It won’t be long however before we’re back in stock, a new flock have landed at the farm and they laid their first egg yesterday!

It’s lovely to have visitors but I can’t do any jobs at the moment without being followed!

have kindly lent me some lambs again to eat off some spare grass. Aren’t they beautiful, although admittedly a bit scary in the dark with my head torch on and 15 pairs of eyes staring back at me from the darkness.

Lucy makes soap from her rare breed sheep’s milk, along with wool and yarn products. I swear by her soap it’s the only soap I use 🛁

I’ve been investigating what salmonella is, what the rules are for different systems and how safe we should feel about continuing to eat eggs.

My small flock doesn’t have to be routinely tested or vaccinated for salmonella, they are below the 350 bird threshold. Flocks over 350 have mandatory testing, but vaccination isn’t mandatory - it’s a commercial choice, although schemes such as red lion require it for participating flocks.

I’m not anti vaccine. Vaccination is an important tool in reducing Salmonella risk. But it made me ask: why is vaccination so important in some systems in the first place?

Im asking whether large scale system vaccination is partly necessary because the scale and nature of the production system creates greater opportunities for salmonella to spread.

More birds means more manure and a higher bacterial load on the hens. Tighter more intensive systems can mean greater management challenges and greater stress for the birds. Then there are long supply chains and the potential for cross contamination when thousands of eggs are packed and processed together.

A vaccine is an important extra layer of protection - but it shouldn’t replace good farming, high animal welfare, hygiene, testing and traceability.

For me the question shouldn’t simply be ‘vaccinated or unvaccinated’ It should be how was this egg produced?

British eggs are produced under UK standards, and I believe we should have confidence in our producers and support them. But we also need to ask where the egg in our food actually came from.

When we buy a box of eggs, we can see the provenance and make a choice. But what about the egg in a ready meal, quiche, cake, restaurant meal, takeaway?

Most of us wouldn’t deliberately choose a lower standard imported egg from the shelf. So why should we accept one simply because the egg has disappeared into another product?

Ask where your egg came from. What standards it was produced to. Ask supermarkets, manufacturers, wholesalers, and restaurants to choose British eggs too. Buying British isn’t just about supporting our farmers. It’s about supporting the food system we want to eat from and that system being safe.

An egg box has returned to Holt Lane, it did have some water problems in its first day but I’ve added a carabiner to the latch and hoping that keeps its waterproof. £2.80 per box and you can scan a QR code to pay.. oooh

Choosing chicken? Choose better. 🐔

90% of chickens in the UK are reared on intensive poultry farms, growing incredibly quickly, in cramped conditions. They are uncomfortable, in pain and suffering.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There is an alternative and it’s happening right here.

This education should be for all meat eaters.

If care about animal welfare and want to learn more about how big ag operates give project slingshot a follow. Unlike most groups that highlight welfare issues, they don’t demonise farming as a whole but rather the specific systems and practices in place that are harmful and mean big money for big business. There is an alternative. Animals do not have to have a lifetime of suffering to make eating meat an option, they can be treated with care, respect and given everything they need to thrive.

The freezers are full again! 🐓 Last week was full on, chicken processing week always is. Catching and crating chickens from 10pm onwards, driving through the night and car camping ready for them going in early the next morning. Then driving back to collect them a couple of days later. And in between another 200 day old chicks arrived.

I’ve added the first few bits to the website but give me another few days to weigh, label and get everything back in stock.

It’s rare I advertise eggs, in fact I’ve had a waiting list for the past two years. Now these little hens are on top of the job and plans for increasing production have gone so well we have room to take on more customers.

Top things to note are these hens aren’t like other hens. They live a pasture raised lifestyle, a huge step up from regular free range. They spend their time moving through the pasture in their mobile coop, forging grasses and insects as they go. They get loads more space and loads more vegetation to play in.

The benefits don’t end there. According to studies due to pasture raised hens foraging on nutrient rich pasture their eggs are said to be higher in key vitamins and healthy fats.

Head to website in my bio to subscribe. I don’t sell eggs as a one off, think of me more like a milkman but for eggs. Options include weekly, fortnightly or monthly delivery to any HD postcode.

Four days to four weeks 🐥 In mid April the first of this seasons day old chicks arrived. This week they are four weeks old and have found most of their feathers. That means moving from the cosy brooder to pasture raised living, exploring and foraging as they go 🌱🪱

The lucky people of Luddendenfoot have a new monthly market right on their doorstep! … Following on from Food Circle Huddersfield, Lyndsey of decided her local community needed a food market too. One with real food producers who are local, do things proper and can tell the people of Luddendenfoot all about it.

Now if you’ve followed my content or story for any length of time you’ll know how much I believe in circular local food economies. Growing food globally in mass amounts at the cheapest possible cost then big market share supermarkets buying it up to sell to us has so many downsides at every point of the process. This isn’t just an issue that affects farmers and growers it affects everyone!

Markets like Food Circle and Good Grub Club are proactive in bringing together farmers and customers for an alternative solution.

If you’re around join the revolution, one chicken, loaf of bread, carrot or coffee at a time. See you there 🙂
