Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Kehelland near Camborne in West Cornwall; the Olds family has farmed at Cornhill since 1912, and today Len and Pete Olds run the 350-acre (about 142 ha) mixed farm in partnership with Pete's wife Jen. We keep 17,000 free-range laying hens in five mobile houses, grow wheat, barley, oats and lupins on 300 acres to mill our own feed, and also run a contracting business. Since giving up our supermarket contract we sell all our eggs locally: our egg stall at the end of the farm lane is open 24/7 all year round, and local farm shops, stores and caterers stock them too. Every year we open the farm for Open Farm Sunday, and we rehome our retired hens.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
