About Our Farm
We have been Egg farmers now for 35 years and in 2005 we needed to renovate our hen house. We decided that we would change to a loose housing concept. Here the birds have free access to nest feed and fresh water, and have the ability to roam anywhere in the barn. This means that there are NO CAGES. This style was used in the 1960’s and is a much more humane way of production. We have 5400 brown egg layers and 9500 White layers all hosed in 3 hen houses.
We are certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as a egg grading station and adhere to the farm food safety practices of HACCP. This allows us to sell our eggs to restaurants, hotels, store outlets and farmers market. Our Eggs can be found in many of the top restaurants and popular stores across Ottawa. Check out our section Where to find us for some locations.
We also sell directly at 7 Farmers Market. Byward Market, the Field House on Parkdale, Main St. Market, Manotick Market, Kanata Market, Metcalfe Market, and North Gower Market.

What People are Saying About Us
- "Their eggs are fabulous and are now widely available in Ottawa Shops."
- Eastern Ontario egg producer goes free range
John Beking is happy with the changeover to
free-range-style barns and he believes his birds are, too
An Eastern Ontario egg producer has responded
to consumers' demands for a more "naturally produced" agricultural product by
converting his 16,500-bird farm to a totally free-range operation.
John Beking of Beking's Poultry Farm, located just outside of Oxford Station, has
been producing eggs in a conventional barn (with caged birds) for more than 30
years. This past spring, Beking moved his layers into two new 200-by 40-foot,
free-range-style barns and, from what he's seen so far, he couldn't be happier
with his decision...
