Farming Today This Week: Egg Industry
Charlotte Smith is on a smallholding in Gloucestershire to learn about the egg industry and meets a couple producing turkey, duck, goose and hen eggs.
This week Charlotte Smith looks at the egg industry. As a nation we get through 32 million eggs every day. The big producers can have tens of thousands of laying hens, while others sell just a few dozen eggs from the front gate.
Sarah and David Hawkeswood set up a smallholding in Gloucestershire two years ago after careers in health and building. What started as a hobby is now a business selling duck, turkey, goose and hen eggs to local markets and restaurants. The producer is Sally Challoner.
