Fenton Farm  Holcombe Rogus | Home of Fenton Farm Eggs

Our farm is in Holcombe Rogus on the Devon / Somerset border.
 

We farm 155 acres and are the 3rd generation of our family on the farm.
 

We have some beautiful permanent pasture in a steep sided valley, which has not been sprayed in living memory and is lightly grazed by cattle to encourage wild flowers.

 

Fenton Farm Eggs are laid by different breeds of hens including White Leghorns, a flighty bird that originates from the Leghorn region of Italy and lays pure white eggs and a Rhode Island Red Cross which lay traditional brown eggs. Our hens produce eggs with wonderfully rich yolk eggs that improve the look and taste of your baking.

HOW WE WORK?
 

Here at Fenton farm our team grade and pack our eggs daily, delivering 5 days a weeks to London, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, The Cotswolds and West Wiltshire. Our eggs are sold to a wide range of customers including restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels and top of the range supermarkets including Waitrose.

In recent years, with the risks of avian flu we decided not to have birds on the farm because if we got bird flu we would be shut down and the egg business finished. We now have 8 local farmers, all which provide excellent free range conditions where the hens have access throughout the day to green pasture. The hens roam freely and are fed a natural vegetarian diet which produces exceptional quality eggs with strong shells, rich yolk and superior flavour.

Here at Fenton farm we also aim to achieve the highest standard of eco sustainability to reduce any harmful impact on the environment. Efforts include our use of solar panels as a renewable source of energy which reduces greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. The panels are 10 kW and our grading shed uses about 3-4 kW. Any excess is sold back to the grid so no power is wasted. Even on a more cloudy day, they power all the egg packing operations.

Environmental schemes are also used to encourage wildlife on the farm in the form of winter bird food plots which are areas of seed bearing crops that provide a reliable source of food for birds over the winter, as well as providing shelter for an abundance of insects and other animals. Wild flowers are also planted to encourage pollinators throughout the year.

As a team, we are always collectively thinking of new ways to keep our business eco-friendly, whether that be reducing the amount of single use plastics used in the process of packaging and distributing our eggs or actively helping ecosystems to flourish.
