Firstly, so that you can evaluate why some producers are more successful than others, you need a full understanding of free range egg production and Bowlers operation. This is best obtained by visiting our office or by attending one of our regular Open Days. These are normally held at our head office in Derby and concentrate on the factors which affect profitability and usually include a visit to one of our existing working farms.

You will amass sufficient knowledge to ask the right questions to enable you to assess accurately, the potential of any working unit, regardless of any information given to you by anyone showing you around the unit. You will also understand the reasons why a unit may not be performing to its target, and how to make an accurate judgement of possible performance and value. Best of all, you will be able to talk on the subject with your Bank Manager with certain authority

We estimate that only one out of a hundred enquiries becomes a free range egg producer. In order to avoid wasted time and costs, every effort is made to discourage non serious enquiries so that we can spend more time and effort with genuine ones. The non serious enquires and the genuine ones are easily segregated by asking for money, therefore we charge for attending on Open Day, but any subsequent visits are free of charge.

The fee is £60+VAT for the first person, and £30+VAT for every person thereafter. This is fully refundable if you are not left completely satisfied at the end of the day or if you proceed further and become a John Bowler egg producer.
