Tucked away in a once overgrown garden of a quiet north Manchester street is a Jewish egg factory which the Chief Rabbi has hailed as an example of restoring dignity to young Jews with special needs.

Eight free range chickens roam around a large purpose-built wooden enclosure at the Prestwich base of Langdon Community, supporting independent living for people with learning disabilities. In six months, they have produced more than 1,000 eggs for young entrepreneurs Mark Nadler and Adam Patchick, who attracted £1.300 of capital investment from Langdon's own Dragons' Den challenge last year.

Businessmen donated the cash after being impressed with the venture, which is to expand to growing and selling fruit tree saplings in time for Tu B'Shvat next year.

Visiting Langdon on Sunday, Lord Sacks congratulated them on their Team business (Trees and Eggs from Adam and Mark).
