Twilight Colony

I’ve been an egg farmer for nearly 17 years.

I am a 2^nd generation egg farmer.

I was next in line for a job in the colony, and landed in the laying barn.

It means a lot to me to be an egg farmer, to be able to help feed the world, and always gain consumer trust. That is a great opportunity.

The thing I enjoy most about egg farming is walking birds, listening to their commute, and knowing they are happy and satisfied. Outside of birds, I really enjoy working with the people from the Colony that help with daily egg picking, and also how everybody comes together at barn depop and refill.

The farm has an older conventional barn, and a new furnished housing systems barn.

We raise Lohmann white leghorn.

Our hens produce regular white eggs.

The farm also has dairy, hogs, turkeys for commercial operations. Broilers, ducks and sheep for Colony consumption. We farm 20,000 acres, mostly wheat, barley, canola, and peas.

It makes me feel great to be able to provide Albertans with fresh, nutritious, and delicious, locally produced eggs, and knowing they trust and love our product.

The one takeaway I would like people to know about egg farmers is, we do more monitoring and recording in our barns for these hens, and food safety, then we do for families.
