Esterhazy BIO eggs from princely migrating hens

Esterhazy BIO eggs from princely migrating hens 6 pcs.

Since May 2018, our mobile chicken coop has been positioned at the Esterhazy organic farm, at the Seehof in Donnerskirchen, and is moved at regular intervals on the areas of the Seehof, many of which border on areas under nature conservation, reed areas or hat pastures. By constantly changing the areas, our organic chickens can always be provided with the best feed containing valuable nutrients. The selected areas are not directly adjacent to conventionally managed agricultural land and guarantee one hundred percent organic management. This excludes contamination by pesticides or fertilisers via the wind.

The rich meadows, adjacent to the biologically valuable areas of Lake Neusiedl, provide our approximately 280 chickens with ample run and a natural evergreen directly in front of the mobile coop. Due to the regular transfer of the barn to the biodiversity areas of the lake front site, the animals can be provided with both free space and fresh feed throughout. Furthermore, this prevents diseases and pests and additionally promotes soil fertility.

This type of husbandry, which goes far beyond organic status, is rewarded by our hens with an organic egg every day. The generous run, the always fresh green fodder as well as grasses, herbs and flowers produce organic eggs of the best quality and taste and at the same time ensure that the soil and the plants are supplied with valuable fertiliser.

Where do the eggs come from?
Our organic eggs are available every Friday and Saturday directly in the Markthalle Kulinarium Burgenland as well as on selected dates at our Rolling Market Hall available!
