About Us
WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY
We love that you have taken the time to find out a little about us, who we are and what we do
from humble beginnings...
Country Flavours is situated in the beautiful and rural landscape of Herefordshire; based at Lower Bellamore Farm in Preston-On-Wye. David & Alice Hancorn proudly run this fresh from the farm egg business. Hens were always in the family line, showed/identified in the black and white image featuring David’s grandfather and two of his Aunties outside the farmhouse in 1938. Being the fourth generation at Lower Bellamore, David gets to carry the heritage on.
As with many small farms in the country, diversification has been an important progression. David & Alice started free-range egg production in 2006 and took over Country Flavours in January 2008. The noticeable difference in the taste of their fresh eggs and the support of local businesses has kept this business thriving.
People are always saying how nice the eggs are. It must be the taste of a really fresh egg, laid by happy hens!

We prioritise efficiency and provide a prompt, reliable egg delivery service. Your satisfaction is our top priority; eggs are laid one day and delivered the next, and you can’t get much faster than that.
We are passionate about animal welfare and give our hens the freedom they deserve. Our eggs come from free-range hens that roam and forage in spacious, natural environments.
With a rich history in egg production, we are a trusted name in the industry. Our experience and expertise have been passed down through generations, ensuring that our eggs meet the highest standards of quality and freshness.
We believe that great-tasting eggs come from happy and healthy hens. Our commitment to providing a natural and balanced diet with feed from British mills results in flavourful and fresh eggs. Experience the difference in every bite.
From the moment our hens lay their eggs to the final delivery to your business, we maintain strict quality control measures. Our sites are regularly inspected to the highest standards by RSPCA, British Lion Quality and DEFRA.
Experience the difference our commitment to 'Fresh' eggs brings to your table.
