Unfortunately due to attempted robberies 😪 we are having to limit our opening hours at our Elgin hut. There will be eggs in the hut from 8am-4pm everyday, I am afraid there will be no eggs available out of these hours.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and hope this will only be for a limited time.

That’s our alpacas in for their annual haircut tomorrow. 🦙 Due to the bad weather we have to take them inside this year, as you can’t sheer them when their fleeces are wet. They will also get their teeth 🦷 checked and their hooves trimmed at the same time!

Think of it as their annual service!

With a little help from the lovely weather 😎☀️ we've been having lately we managed to start harvesting our wheat yesterday 🌾🚜.

All the wheat we grow is fed to our hens who eat a massive 500 tonnes every year.🐓

The wheat is mixed with other ingredients such as soya and barley to provide a balanced diet for our hens. This helps them to lay the best eggs. 🍳👌
