Despite a few farmers not interested in real farming condemning the
efforts of Jamie and Hugh in making the public aware what they are
eating and where it comes from, the sales are on the up.

Another goal for animal rights. Well done guys.

Free range retail egg sales rose by almost 20% in volume and 46% in
value in the first four weeks of 2008, resulting in free range for the
first time accounting for more than half of the retail market value,
according to new figures issued by British Lion eggs.

The huge growth in free range egg sales means that four in every 10
eggs sold in the retail sector are now free range.

Total egg sales volume for the four weeks ending 29 January 2008 was
up by more than 1%, which follows exceptional, sustained growth of
2.5% in 2007. Egg market value rose by almost one-third, with sales
exceeding £56m in January 2008.
