The Life/Oranga supplement in this morning’s Press featured an article about a local couple who have 4,000 hens and 1,100 bee hives on their 12 hectare property in Eyrewell. I admired the photo of them surrounded by free range hens, with two tucked under their arms. On reading further I discovered they are the owners of Benzie Free Range Eggs which are the ones we eat. Their hens have access to all the grass they want, and live among pine trees, producing roughly 3,000 eggs a day.
This afternoon I went across to purchase half a dozen of these first class eggs and discovered the price has gone up. Is that because having been featured in the newspaper they are now celebrity eggs?
