Good Food Nation

Hen Nation has a model of production which enables each hen to live out its full natural life. Our hens were rescued at the age they would normally go to slaughter, 72 weeks. They spent a further year in Sussex and now reside at the Great British Farm Project sanctuary in Tosside, Lancashire. They live happy, traditional, free-range lives - free to graze grass and forage in their pastures. At night they are fastened into their stone barn to keep them warm and safe from predators.

In a normal system, whether battery or indeed free-range and organic, hens are generally gassed or killed by other means at 72 weeks..

Hen Nation eggs are sold in half-dozen boxes. They are 'as they come' - a mixture of mainly medium and large with the occasional 'little one'.

One box of eggs a week saves the life of one hen.
