What's in the egg white?
This is where most of the protein in an egg is found! 1 size 7 egg contains about 7 grams of protein.
What's in an egg yolk?
Most of the other nutrients are found in the yolk! This includes vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, folate, selenium, choline, iron, zinc, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin.

Why choose eg.?
The chicken comes first.
Our philosophy from day one is simple, the chicken comes first. Our farm is designed from our hens perspective because they're the ones laying the eggs! And in return, those eggs they lay are as perfect as can be.
More space.
We are leading by example with more space for our chooks inside and out! Our farm layout is a NZ first with our sheds laid out in a star shape as this means bigger ranges for our chooks.
Inside the sheds.
Not only do we raise the standards outside but we also raise them inside as well! Our sheds are spacious, regularly cleaned, and set up with state of the art aviaries for ultimate comfort.
Raising the standards.
We only have free range flocks and are doing everything we can te exceed even the free range standards like less hens inside and out, cleaner conditions and our hens actually spending time on the range!
Free Range Foraging.
Our chooks genuinely live their free range lifestyle, spending time on the range foraging and exploring. If the weather is a bit iffy they are still able to spend time in our winter gardens which is a sheltered space for dust bathing and scratching.
Bright yolks.
Our chooks lifestyle is directly reflected in the eggs they lay. In particular with a steady maize diet and genuine foraging this creates that beautiful rich yolk. The proof of their lifestyle is literally in the egg!
