Appledore Farm Eggs

Appledore Farm Eggs, fresh local and free range 

From Field to Fork:

At Appledore Farm Eggs, a family-run farm near Tiverton, Adam and his family care for their flock of happy free-range hens.

All of their chickens lead happy and healthy lives, they are free to roam the green pasture of the Devon hills and are fed specially formulated feed (created by the family on their own farm!) to produce tasty eggs, with strong quality shells and rich golden yolks.

The wheat and oats used for their chicken feed is grown and milled on their farm, which ensures they know exactly what goes into their girls’ feed.

This process, which was also used by the family’s great-grandfather who once owned the poultry farm, creates the lovely rich yolk that Appledore Farm Eggs are renowned for! Their home-mixing is also key to keeping the food miles down; their wheat fields are all within eight miles of their happy hens and their on-farm mill. The feed gets harvested in the autumn for the following year’s food.

By producing their own feed and selling their eggs locally, Appledore Farm Eggs are supporting the field to fork process. Reducing food-miles is imperative to lowering the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Local sourcing decreases the need for long-haul transportation, leading to fewer greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly food system.
