"Our mission has not changed since we started farming: to grow high quality and quantity eggs and vegetables in a sustainable, ethical fashion that honours people, animals, and our environment."
Hens at Lockwood Farms are treated with the highest ethical standards; they're provided free-range access to sunlight, dust baths, water, pasture, and biologically appropriate protein-rich feed. Lockwood Farms partners with Canadian company Enterra to feed their hens Black Soldier Fly larvae, a conscious decision that benefits both the environment and the hen's welfare. Insects are a natural part of a chicken's diet, however, conventional farming practices tend towards corn or soy feed. Soy crops farmed for animal feed are unsustainable and create more waste per acre; they also contain fewer essential amino acids in comparison. By making the switch, Lockwood Farms has proven their continuous dedication to environmental sustainability and animal welfare.
