Why Free-Range Matters

Good eggs make a real difference, whether you’re cooking breakfast, baking, or keeping the fridge stocked for the week. Across York, more people are choosing fresh free-range eggs delivered to their doorstep because the quality, taste, and welfare standards stand well above supermarket alternatives.

If you’re wondering what sets our Yorkshire eggs apart, here’s a simple guide.

What Free-Range Really Means

When hens are free-range, they spend part of their day outdoors with room to move, scratch, and behave naturally.

This creates a calmer environment and leads to stronger, healthier birds. Better welfare supports better egg quality, which is one of the reasons customers often notice the difference in colour and flavour.

Fresher Eggs Have Better Taste and Texture

Supermarket eggs often spend time in storage or travel long distances before reaching the shelf.

The eggs we deliver come directly from trusted Yorkshire farms. A shorter supply chain means fresher eggs, firmer whites, and richer yolks.

You can see the difference in cooking — especially when poaching, frying, or baking.

How the Hens Are Looked After

The farms we work with keep flock sizes manageable, allowing proper care and regular checks.

Feed is carefully chosen to keep the hens healthy throughout the year, supporting egg quality and consistency.

Because the farms operate on a smaller scale, they have the time to focus on welfare, cleanliness, and natural routines.

Eggs Packed and Delivered with Care

Each box is packed on the farm and delivered straight to your door with your regular milk order.

We keep everything simple, with no long storage times or unnecessary handling.

It’s a straightforward way to have better quality eggs on hand throughout the week.

Supporting Local Yorkshire Farms

Choosing local eggs helps independent farms who look after their hens properly and produce food the right way.

It keeps money in the region and supports farming practices that value welfare, quality, and sustainability.
