World Egg Day takes place on the second Friday in October each year, hosted by the World Egg Organisation. In the UK, an estimated 37.2 million eggs are eaten every day! Thankfully we don’t have to deliver all of them, but we have been proud to been delivering locally sourced eggs to Cambridgeshire households over the last 70+ years.
Our egg-ceptional suppliers
J.R Holm & Son: JR Holm & Son, in Haverhill have been our egg supplier for over 40 years and always provide the best quality locally sourced free range eggs. Along with their great service we are able to ensure that our customers always get the quality product they expect
Havensfield Eggs: Havensfield Happy Hens started in 2003 with just 300 hens on a field in Eye, Suffolk. The field was called Havensfield and that’s when their brand was born! Since then they’ve increased their own production of fresh barn eggs, and started working with a number of other farmers in Suffolk and Norfolk who produce eggs to the Havensfield standards on their family farms.
