180-day guarantee Omlet’s Regenerative Roost Retreat
Last month, we headed to FarmED in Oxfordshire with a brilliant bunch of chicken keepers for a day that was equal parts thoughtful, warm and joyfully chaotic (any day involving chickens usually is). The Regenerative Roost Retreat marked the launch of our new No Waste Chicken Feeders, but more than anything, it was about bringing people together to share ideas, learn from one another and celebrate a more considered way of living with chickens.
The day kicked off with a warm welcome from Omlet co‑founder Hanns, who shared the story behind Omlet and our mission to create products that make a real difference to chicken keepers.
“I really liked Hanns speaking about the evolution of Omlet and how the designs have evolved over time. To feel his continued passion for his brand was infectious and moving.” Arthur Parkinson @arthurparkinson_
Then came possibly the most memorable moment of the day…
Chicken yoga.
Mats on the floor, plenty of laughter to break the ice and some very curious hens pecking about. Hayley Brown called it “a great way to kick off the day being surrounded by chickens,”many of our attendees admitted it’s something they’re tempted to bring into everyday life with their own chickens.
We had Michael Kennard from Compost Club lead a composting demo that left many guests rethinking what they do with chicken bedding, manure and food scraps.
“Michael’s session on composting was so interesting and it was great to hear about his tips for making the most of used chicken bedding and manure. I’m definitely going to have a deep dive on his courses and online materials to swot up on bokashi and hot composting.” Heather, @farmhouseintheferns
Lunch, provided by the FarmED café, was the perfect opportunity for the group to chat, chill out and network. Vanessa Kimbell @vanessakimbell reflected, “People don’t always get many chances to network properly now, and chickens are a surprisingly good common ground.”
After lunch, guests headed out on a guided walk around the FarmED land. While the weather wasn’t entirely on our side that day, it was great to see their chickens, soil and systems working together in real life.
Later in the afternoon, Anna from Anna’s Family Kitchen hosted a no waste cooking demo, encouraging everyone to be a little braver with leftovers.“Anna really inspired me to get braver in the kitchen,” Charlie @eggs_and_fluff, who’s already planning to explore more of Anna’s recipes at home.
The mix of hands-on learning, shared meals, curious chickens and practical tips made the day as inspiring as it was enjoyable. Guests left feeling motivated, connected and maybe even more obsessed with chickens than they were before, and if there was one clear takeaway from the retreat, it’s that people want more of it.“It was so refreshing to be in a room full of like‑minded people,” said Heather. “I’d absolutely love to attend more events like this.”
Watch this space, maybe we’ll be organising more chicken yoga sessions…
