Ethical eggs go on sale at JVS

JVS has been looking for a kinder alternative to high street eggs. In a normal system, whether battery or free-range or organic, egg-laying hens are generally gassed or killed by other means at between 68 and 72 weeks. They have a life expectancy of 5 years or more. Male chicks are killed very soon after they hatch, either gassed / suffocated / crushed in a grinder. We have sourced delicious organic eggs from Hen Nation whose model of production enables each hen to live out its full natural life. They live happy, traditional, free-range lives – free to graze grass and forage in traditional hay meadows in their North Yorkshire home. No hens or chicks are slaughtered. This has enabled us to create a community collection point for cruelty-free eggs at our HQ in Golders Green. One box of eggs a week saves the life of one hen. Click here to read more about where these eggs come from. We are offering eggs at £2.50 per half dozen. More information about how to place an order, ordering deadlines and collection times can be found below. Please note that JVS will not be profiting from this scheme. Please help us spread the word about this unique opportunity to enjoy ethical eggs by passing this on to friends/family/colleagues who may also be interested. Thank you! — How to place an order: please call 020 8455 0692 to check stock levels.
