Transition to agroecological approaches – The Lakes Free Range Egg Co Ltd, Cumbria, Lake District
David Brass took over the beef and sheep farm from his father in 1989. A year later,
his wife Helen introduced layers. In a move to further refine the farming operation, they
planted woodland and hedges, and the farm started to produce woodland eggs. An
organic enterprise was added more recently to meet the growing demand for organic
eggs.
