Kipster’s start in the U.S. is thanks to our partnership with Kroger to bring 'carbon-neutral' and Certified Humane® eggs to its customers around the country. A bold and visionary move by Kroger leadership to invest in a sustainable, cage-free and humane egg farming system. In partnership with MPS Egg Farms, the Kipster farm in North Manchester, IN, has daylight and enrichment filled interior gardens, outdoor roaming spaces, chicken feed made from upcycled food and powered by solar panels. https://lnkd.in/geDZZfZP

Welcome to Kipster. The Farm That Gives A Cluck
Over ons
Revolutionizing Farming For a Healthier Planet and Better Animal Welfare We redefine the role of livestock in the food ecosystem. Our chickens contribute to a better environment and prevent food waste by turning surpluses of agriculture and food processing into nutritious eggs and meat, as well as valuable fertilizers. The carefully controlled upcycled feed contains, for example, leftovers from sources such as large bakeries, and pasta factories. In close collaboration with scientists and animal welfare organizations, the Kipster Farm was designed for the chicken's needs. Chickens are forest birds, and the farm is set up for them to carry out our natural behaviors as much as possible. Outdoor gardens and indoor gardens with perches, haybales, peck stones, daylight and dustbathing spaces allow for the hens to express their natural behavior.

Great news! The Kipster hens are free to roam the outside gardens again. After being kept inside due to the risks of avian flu, the hens can now enjoy the (hot) summer breeze and bask in the sun in 94-degree weather today :-) #Kipster MPS Egg Farms #avianflu #chicken #summer #outdooraccess #freerange #cagefree #eggs

"Kipster, which claims to be “the first carbon-neutral” egg hatchery in the world, will also be the first to sell eggs in the U.S. using a new kind of technology, one that aims to improve animal welfare for chickens. In-ovo sexing technology enables egg producers to identify the sex of the chicken embryo before hatching." Correction: Kipster is an egg farm and not a hatchery. Also, if the technology was used to sex the hatching eggs in the fall, as the article claims, then it takes at least over 20-25 weeks before the table eggs reach the retail shelf. The female chicks that hatch need to grow into young adults before producing eggs for consumption. https://lnkd.in/eXGYcgkd Sentient The Humane League Compassion in World Farming (USA) Compassion in World Farming ASPCA Certified Humane®Mercy For Animals Innovate Animal Ag The Humane Society of the United States Ruud Zanders

Did you know a chicken is originally a forest bird? 🐔🌳 They would spend most of their day searching for food like leaves and insects 🍃🪲 When it's time to sleep, they would hop into a tree for the night 🌙🌲 At Kipster, we try to mimic the forest environment. Plenty of scratching areas occupy the hens during the day 🌿🐓 During the night, they sleep in an aviary system, with perches at different heights that they can choose from💤🌳 Want to learn more? www.kipster.farm #forestbird #foraging #chicken #kipster #roost #veterinarian

People who buy Kipster's certified carbon neutral eggs at Kroger and Kroger owned stores such as Ralphs Grocery Company and King Soopers/City Market, support the below cookstove project in Burkina Faso. Kipster reduces the egg's carbon footprint significantly by feeding the chickens a special feed made from surplus upcycled food, solar panels on the hen houses power the farm, and chicken litter is dried and reused as fertilizer. The remainder of greenhouse gas emissions are offset; invested in this project. #cookstoves #carbonneutral #eggs FairClimateFund #offsetting #carbon

The stoves from the stove rollout in 2022 are widely used, and women are starting to benefit from the microloans coming forward from this. However, the cookstove project continues to face some challenges, especially due to the political insecurity situation in the country. Despite these challenges, women who use these stoves were trained in their use and repairs, along with several other topics that will empower them financially and have a positive impact on the area and climate.

Kipster Looks to Revamp the Egg Production Game from Feed to Hatching On this episode of From the Ground Up, host John Boitnott sat down with Ruud Zanders, poultry farmer and founder of Kipster, a company looking to change the entire egg production ecosystem. Why? As Zanders suggests, the future of food production could very well depend on our willingness to innovate and adapt for the betterment of the planet and its inhabitants. It is also proof that profit and sustainability can coexist, which is the only way many companies are likely to change. https://lnkd.in/ezF57BdN

Want to know an amazing egg fact? 🥚✨ White eggs are better for the environment than brown eggs 🥚🌱 That’s because chickens that lay white eggs need less feed to produce eggs. Less feed means fewer greenhouse gas emissions 🌿📉 That is why we, at Kipster, keep chickens that lay white eggs 🐔🤍 #whiteeggs #browneggs #sustainability #Kipster
