Ben’s Eggs is a free range enterprise run by Ben Pimlott, from Loggerheads.
It is a continuation of Ben’s interest in poultry and ducks. Starting off with six bantams when he was seven years old, and moving on to rare breed hens and then ducks. He even dug out two ponds in the back garden at the farm for his Mandarin and Carolina ducks.
There was always something hatching out as his hobby took over.His first batch of Black Rock hens arrived at the family farm in September 1997, and sales of his eggs went so well that he invested in more hens and started to look for an outlet for his extra eggs.
Following due inspection and measuring of the hen house, perches and nest boxes the Ministry of Agriculture Inspector gave him a Packing Station number and told him that he could trade as Ben’s Eggs, selling Free Range Eggs.
His first outlet was Sherwoods Wholefoods Shop in Market Drayton and over the past five years he has Increased his flock to 1200 birds and as well as his original outlet Sherwoods, he now supplies Plant and Wilton in Newcastle, Baldwins Gate Stores, Blackbrook Farm Shop and Hungersheath Fruit farm, to name a few
Not to mention many satisfied members of the public to whom he sells direct.
Ben’s Eggs have proven very popular with his customers who all say the eggs are like they were when they were children; Golden yolks and a great taste. This is because the hens are housed in traditional hen houses and are free to roam the field as they please.
A combination of natural feeding, freedom and fresh air give the eggs a rich and delicious taste.
