Fuel your day the eg. way!
Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse, they helps kids grow taller, think clearer, and have more energy to play. The perfect egg starts with the chicken and our chooks lay the highest quality free range eggs.
We're proud to be partnered with the Young and Healthy Trust helping young kiwis learn about fuelling their bodies and the importance of where their food comes from is key to “powering up” their life!

Your new superhero! Why you should reach for eggs...
Powers Kids.
Eggs contain all nine essential amino acids which helps with growth, muscle development, and keeping kids full longer. No more rumbling tummies and more focused brains at school!
Fast.
Scrambled or fried eggs cook in under 5 minutes. Boiled eggs, egg muffins, quiches etc. can be prepped ahead to save even more time in the mornings.
Affordable.
Eggs are one of the most affordable protein sources per serving, which matters when you're feeding your family every day.
Easy.
One pan, one bowl, maybe a fork. No food processor, no multiple mixing bowls. Plus a slightly overcooked or "wrong" scrambled egg is still edible and still nutritious.
Adaptable.
Eggs pair with almost anything — leftover veggies, rice, cheese, whatever's about to go bad. Good for using up odds and ends instead of wasting food. Plus eggs keep for weeks, so they're a reliable "there's always something to cook" fallback even on a low-grocery week.
Versatile.
Eggs are easy to prepare in ways that suit different ages. Soft scrambled for a toddler still working on chewing, sliced hard-boiled for someone who likes to self-feed, firm and dry for a kid who's picky about "wet" food. Same ingredient, easy to adjust.

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!
