Acutely controversial Daily Mail writer Liz Jones has launched Britain’s most expensive farm products. Jones’ Good Food Nation eggs and milk went on sale at Selfridges yesterday.

At £1.60 for a pint of milk and £2.99 for half-a-dozen eggs, the products are the most expensive of their kind on sale in the UK. Jones and business partner Isobel Davies, an organic veg box producer, claim rigorously high animal welfare standards justify the price tag; the animals producing the milk and eggs are kept in retirement, rather than being killed once they stop producing.

They claim their products, which are both certified organic and free-range, are the “world’s first truly cruelty-free, ethical farm food brand”.

Cow Nation milk and Hen Nation eggs will be followed by more Good Food Nation products, including butter, cream and yoghurt.

Liz Jones, a former editor of Marie Claire UK, commented upon the release, “The products from our food range have become luxury items because there was no other way to make it happen.”
