Our future

Educating consumers about farming methods and the journey that food makes to their plates is central to life at The Egg Shed, and we are therefore proud to be on the Royal Bath & West Show’s committee for Farming for the Family.

With a particular focus on reaching out to the next generation, we take great pleasure in attending the Royal Bath & West of England Society’s Field to Food Learning Day and are involved with North Somerset Education Day each year, when we take hens, geese, quails and ducks along, with some of their eggs.

Our educational workshops also take place a little closer to home too, with Dan and Briony visiting schools, such as Hazelgrove Preparatory School, and regularly inviting classes on tours around the farms, so children can see the girls rambling, waddling, dabbling and foraging around the fields. The children have the chance to learn how the eggs are collected and then make their way to the shops’ shelves, leaving with a better understanding of where their food comes from and the importance of supporting small independent family-run farms.
