Meet our beautiful free-range hens

Outdoors, our hens enjoy the freedom to explore the wild nature, with constant fresh air and sunlight.

Regular free access to the outdoors is an important principle of free-range egg production, as well as a vital aspect of our farm's philosophy - to be natural, holistic and adopting only humane animal treatment practices.

Indoors, our hens enjoy cage-free living, with nests, perches, dust bathing areas, curtains and even relaxing music during the night!

Our farm has on average around 2,000 Isa brown chickens in each bird house, which is an extremely small number when compared to conventional caged bird houses that often have well over 100,000 hens. This means our hens have plenty of extra space to spread their wings inside a comfy and clean home.

Caring for their wellbeing and environment: it's also important to highlight that although outdoor access for our hens is vital, our facility has been landscaped to also ensure they are safe from predators, disease from wild birds and bad weather. Fortunately in Cyprus, we have ideal conditions to allow our hens to regularly roam around freely and safely outdoors.

Family Farm in Mathiatis, Cyprus

Our family has a long history of farming in Cyprus, dating over 100 years. Our first farm was in the area of Agia on the road to Tympou. After '74, leaving due to the occupation and temporarily being resettled in the farmlands of Aglantzia, Nicosia along the buffer zone.

Through dedication and hard work, we eventually relocated to a new location - Ygea Farm - in the village of Mathiatis in central Cyprus, at the foothills of the Troodos mountain range. A beautiful and green part of Cyprus' interior, with fertile land and tradition-driven agriculture.

Ygea Farm has become our pride and joy - a family-run, local, and fully bio farm, where we continue to practice our tradition and passion for local Cypriot farming.

Today, our farm has also modernised, adopting some new advances to benefit food productivity, quality, and animal welfare. This includes infrastructure, such as the latest in bird house and feeding mills, other animal welfare facilities, eggs collection and distribution machinery, as well as renewable energy practices.

Our farm has also met the requirements of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). In general, this program aims to improve:

• the competitiveness of agriculture and forestry in member states;
• the environment and the countryside; and
• the quality of life and the management of economic activity in rural areas.

Ygea Farm is fully bio and adopts only organic farming practices. Read more about our organic initiative in Cyprus, click here

Our passion for health and good food, animal kindness and environmental protection also stems to other areas, such as being a proud supporter of Europa Donna Cyprus.
