J S R Services (Blairgowrie) Ltd is a family run business, formed in 1990 with John & Linda Retson running a small distribution company to supply all requisitions to the Scottish Poultry Industry.  Since then it has grown steadily over the years breaking in to farming to produce Free Range eggs in 2003.

J S R Services today, is still very much a family business. John & Linda, along with two of their sons head up a team of 9 full time and 5 part time staff to look after a growing farming base of 15,000 Organic Free Range Layer, 36,000 Free Range Layer and along with rearing their own replacement stock, rear a further 200,000 organic pullets for resale throughout Scotland and Northern England.

The distribution side continues to grow complementing the pullet rearing, offering a wide range of products for the poultry industry with a delivery service throughout Scotland, the Northern Islands and Northern England.
