Eggs From An Alternative Culture
The EGGS FROM AN ALTERNATIVE CULTURE category includes the best quality eggs from barn and free-range hens. They also have a special taste.
Alternative cultures include methods of chicken keeping that ensure more comfortable breeding conditions when compared to the traditional battery methods. They include grate floor breeding, multi-level keeping, free-range breeding and barn farming.
Alternative cultures of chicken breeding require much more expert knowledge, they are significantly more expensive than the battery system and require higher expenditure for veterinary care; however, the taste of eggs produced in this fashion rewards the effort and costs. This is also recognised by the consumers and by those traders who understand the needs of their customers.
Egg consumers are aware of the economic conditions of alternative hen breeding; many seek free-range or barn eggs, and are ready to pay a price equal to the expected value of the product. The demand for eggs from alternative cultures has been consistently and continuously growing.
