Our Ethical Farming Practices

We take pride in maintaining complete control over our production process, from rearing day-old chicks to delivering fresh eggs to your table. Our hens are reared on our farms and fed grains milled on our land, ensuring a nutritious and sustainable diet. This vertical integration allows us to uphold the highest standards of animal welfare and product quality.

Reducing Carbon Footprint

We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint through various initiatives:

Local Production

Eggs from our own farms are produced and packed within a 25-mile radius, reducing transportation emissions.

Sustainable Feed

By milling our own grains, we ensure sustainable sourcing and reduce reliance on external feed suppliers.

Energy Efficiency

Our state-of-the-art facilities incorporate energy-efficient technologies to minimise resource consumption.

Ensuring Hen Wellbeing

Hen welfare is paramount at Fairburn’s Eggs. We adhere to stringent welfare standards, including:

Certifications

Our farms are accredited by the British Lion Code and RSPCA Assured, ensuring compliance with high welfare standards.

Enriched Environments

Our hens enjoy environments that allow natural behaviours, such as perching, nesting, and dust bathing.

Health Monitoring

Regular health checks and biosecurity measures are in place to maintain flock health and prevent disease.

Our Farms & Farming Partners

Collaboration is key to our success:

Family-Owned Farms

We operate our own farms, ensuring control over every aspect of production.
