Who We Are-

we care passionately about the welfare of our hens
the quality of our eggs and the environment.
Rookery Farm is a small family farm  in West Sussex of 150 acres. 
The family have farmed in West Sussex for over 130 years.
We specialise in producing high quality and delicious organic, free range eggs. 
We have been certified organic for over 15 years and we care passionately about the welfare of our hens, the quality of our eggs and the environment.

Our story-

Our hens are kept in a more traditional way than the vast majority of other British and EU organic free range or standard free range hens. 
The hen houses are mobile so we can move them periodically onto fresh pasture. Although this can cause logistical problems because the houses are scattered over the farm in different fields, we think it is worth the extra daily effort to ensure the pastures remain fresh, natural and healthy.

Being organic, we use no chemicals or artificial fertilizers on the fields and the hens are fed an organic diet that meets all their nutritional needs; they also graze the grass and forage as they range outside. Every night we manually shut all the pop holes to keep the hens warm and safe from predators.

The hens have as much food and water as they like in the houses and lay their eggs in specially designed nest boxes. We collect the eggs daily, grade and pack on site immediately ready for sale and distribution, freshness guaranteed.

Our farm and the environment-

We have regular visits by Colin Hedley, a farming and environment consultant with over 20 years' experience, to discuss progress on the various habitat creation and diversity projects for wildlife being undertaken.  Colin has been advising the farm on conservation matters since 1995.
These are the best eggs I have ever tasted and really affordable too, it makes me happy giving proper eggs to my children and knowing that the hens have a good life is all the better.
