We are PYO fruit growers, and for the last 4 years we sell eggs from an egg machine. We keep the flock 18m and have two 500 bird houses, so we have double production in summer to coincide with the fruit.

We are market gardeners, and last year dipped our toes into free range egg production.
We currently have 230 hens, that have been with us a year, and we sell the eggs from a vending machine by the road. We will get a second batch of 330 this week, the aim is to keep them 18m, so we have more...
My mother in law is with us at the moment, and she lives near Knepp castle in Sussex which has been rewilded.
No small concern, I was shocked to learn, it’s 3500acres !
Aside from the tourist stuff how does this work financially ?
