Caring mum: Sharon Driscoll who tends over 3,500 hens

SHARON Driscoll from Camelford in Cornwall, is quite the rare breed. As well as tending to her own family of five, she is the sole carer for over 3,500 free range hens.

With a strong passion for all things fowl, Sharon trawled the internet to find a company which would allow her to balance work and family life and most importantly, share the same ethos. Sharon was delighted when she read about Clarence Court, the ethical egg producer which champions the production of free range eggs and has since played mother hen to two flocks of Old Cotswold Legbars and Burford Browns.

Sharon's day starts at around 7 am when she lets her brood out of of the poultry sheds. After, she tends to the surrounding environment ensuring her flock can roam on acres of clean, picturesque Cornish countryside. This allows each hen the freedom of expression and fullness of life to lay a truly free range farm fresh egg.

Says Sharon: "I love being a producer and I am very happy to be a part of a company that puts in every effort to ensure its hens are given the best possible care. Clarence Court birds are bred for egg quality and not quantity and this fits my way of thinking perfectly. It's no wonder there are always so many characters in my flock!"

Founded in 1990, with the aim of creating a truly free range company, Clarence Court prides itself on producing eggs that are laid by birds which enjoy everything that a normal healthy hen requires for its freedom of expression and fullness of life. Celebrity chefs such as Mark Hix - who has created a bespoke series of seasonal recipes for Clarence Court - Tom Aikens and Jamie Oliver are fans of the range and regularly use the eggs in their restaurants.
