CASTEL FARM EGGS (2008) LTD.

So why choose Castel Farm Eggs , when there are so many other options ?....

   "OUR EGGS ON THE SHELVES IN 48 HOURS "
 
  Castel Farm are extremely proud of the fact that we are one of the leading egg producers in the Channel Islands. We aim to continue offering a high level of service and would want Castel Farm to always be associated with quality and reliability. We are growing the business to meet the demand for fresh, quality Guernsey eggs. By the end of 2009 , the farm will boast 14,000 chickens.
  We are a family owned business , who supports the local economy , and we are keen to promote Guernsey produce ,and we know this is important to the island population too. Home produced Guernsey eggs also help to reduce expensive and polluting import costs . So we hope this is better for our own enviroment.
  Supporting the Island is important to us , so , for 2009/10 we are putting together some ideas that will support local charities , schools and other worthy causes. After all , we believe, every little helps. Please keep an eye out for our "in store promotions", as well as events listed on our website.

  Eggs are produced in 3 systems ;

1) Laying cage system- 62% of all UK egg production is by this system....Castel will not ever favour or support this system .

2) Free range and Organic systems - the hen house conditions and number of birds in any flock are exactly the same in the Barn system . Approximately 34 % of eggs produced in the UK, are "free range ".

3) Finally there is the Barn system ,complying to all the same code of practices as with the free range system , other than the 8 hours access to the outside .

   Since 2010 , we were delighted to introduce a controlled programme ,where our chickens enjoy the benefits of both a secure , managed barn enviroment ,but on a regular basis, enjoy roaming outside . We believe that our chickens will then have the best of both worlds.
