There is no difference in the taste or nutritional value of the eggs but only in the pigmentation of the shell. Both brown and white eggs are measured against our highest standards of quality and freshness.

Our eggs are collected every morning on the day that they are laid and are also cleaned, graded and refrigerated to maintain same day freshness.
