What’s your favourite part about being an egg famer?

“Watching the birds grow from a chick to when they start laying eggs. I love playing a role in the start of life whether it be with my birds or my crops. I’m constantly doing something that has to do with the beginning of life.”

How did you become an egg farmer?

“My parents starting egg farming near Port Perry in the early 50s, farmed there for about 10 years and then we moved to this farm in 1963. We’ve always been in egg production and mill all of our own feed for our hens.”
