We were delighted to meet His Royal Highness Prince Charles (now King Charles III) in Lisnaskea in May 2019. Here’s a photograph of him inspecting some wonderful treasure, laid by Her Egg-selency, Dorris of Cavanagh.

Cavanagh Free Range Eggs hit the glossy pages this month when we featured as Delicious Magazine’s Produce Awards Winner for 2018! Here’s what was said:
“John and Eileen Hall have been producing free-range eggs on their family farm since 2002, but it wasn’t until 2012, when the couple realised that there was a demand for ethically produced eggs, that Cavanagh Free Range Eggs came about. Animal welfare is at the forefront of Cavanagh’s business model. The couple don’t use cages because, as they say, it restricts animals from expressing their natural behaviours. The birds are fed seven times a day with a nutrient-rich feed, have their own designated roosting spot and access to toys, such as footballs, and are free to take dust-baths. Staff from Cavanagh Free Range Eggs work with schools within a 25-mile radius of the farm to educate children on where eggs come from. Cavanagh Free Range Eggs' open commitment to its craft and products made an impact on the judges. From the submission it was clear that they cared about their hens, the wider environment and that they want to pass on what they feel passionate about. Xanthe Clay said the eggs had a "great rich, savoury yolk".
Lucas Hollweg added "that yolk is what you want yolks to be like – large, but also rich and creamy".
Karen Barnes said they were "buttery and packed with flavour".”
A pretty good report! Find out more here.
