Don't Farmers Like Hens?
Most
farmers DO like their hens and many recognise that cages
are not the kindest method of farming.
Every single farmer
we deal with is friendly, helpful, courteous and most
importantly many are willing to consider change. Several
we know are currently switching production to free range,
some are due to retire but remain keen to see Sons and
Grandsons continue the family business and to move in
step with changing trends to free range systems.
ALL of
them need to have confidence in us, the consumer. Setting
up free range systems requires investment of tens of
thousands of pounds. Farmers need to know we will support
them and that we will not abandon them in favour of cheap
foreign imports where regulations and constraints are
often lighter, making the egg cheaper.
The BHWT was set up to help
battery hens, but to help the hens it is obvious we
need to help the farmers.
WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE BRITISH
FARMER TO PRODUCE
THE EGGS THAT WE WANT TO EAT.
