Yorkshire Farmhouse - which has been built upon a reputation for high standards of animal welfare thanks to its 'hen-centric' approach - has been officially named as the UK's largest producer and packer of free-range only eggs according to figures released by the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC). With 200,000 hens across its two Yorkshire farms, the company has seen the volume of free range eggs it handles increase by 250% in the past five years, with significant investment going into hen housing and a state-of-the-art crack detection system, which can monitor 130,000 eggs per hour.
