Business Health
Owl Farm requires a healthy business to support the progress we make in animal well-being, environmental footprint and workplace quality. We maintain a manageable level of debt to service that allows continued investment, along with a cost structure that allows progress in good payout years and survives low payout years. We aim to attract premium value for products at an appropriate cost structure.
