David uses eggs sourced from Lintz Hall Farm whose family have been producing eggs in the North East for four generations and have lived at Lintz for over 60 years.
Set in the heart of the Derwent Valley, Lintz Hall is a mixed farm where free range hens share their fields with sheep cattle and horses.
All of their Free Range Hens roam freely and are monitored by the RSPCA. Their eggs are produced to the exacting standards of the Lion Code. They take great pride in their farm and the products they supply, which is why they do the whole job from start to finish. Within hours of being laid, eggs are graded and packedn-site and delivered direct from the farm.
