In September 2021, Oliver joined our Farm community with a flock of 1,500 hens and a mission to provide fresh, local, organic, and truly free-range eggs to the local community.

What had started as a school project when he was 17 years old quickly flourished into a very real business with a dedicated stance on sustainable farming practices.

What makes Oliver’s Hens different?

Each hen has at least 4 square meters of fresh pasture to roam. In conventional “free-range” systems, hens are only required to have 1 square meter of space to move around, and there is no requirement for them to have access to the outdoors; many live their entire lives in a shed.

Each hen is fed high-quality organic grain sourced locally from Casino.

Oliver moves his hens every week to keep them happy and healthy. This regenerative practice enables the grass to regrow and the soil to replenish itself.

Another benefit of this method is that the hens will have access to fresh forage, and the eggs contain double the Omega-3s than standard cage eggs, making them more flavorful and healthier for you.
