My friend Felix had the great idea to understand more about our clients. In each box of eggs there is a piece of paper with the following instructions.
Dear Eggcellent client.
We would love you to share the following with us;
1. Why do you buy our eggs?
2. What is your favourite dish to prepare with our eggs?
To answer these questions please go to my blog at www.farmerangus.co.za or scan this QR code.

Thank you for supporting our regenerative agriculture project.
The Farmer Angus team (and the hens)
If you are happy to oblige us then put your answers into the comments section below.
Our laying hens have the finest taste in wine. More about our wine label design, which is a tribute to my mother, is here and more about carbon negative wine is here.
Thanks

We only buy these eggs because they are amazing and I especially love that they are raised in a biodynamic farm!
1. I completely trust your eggs to be free of all the nasties. It makes me physically Ill to eat “conventional”eggs. You don’t greenwash, you are what you say you are And yours don’t come with a heavy carbon footprint
2. The kids love Spanish omelette. For me it’s a quick and easy addition to salad lunch on the go.
Oh and we rather love your chicken photos 😊
Hens are pasture raised with a good diet.
Soil is looked after.
No nasty chemicals.
Simple boiled eggs is my favorite.
I buy your eggs because of their freshness and presentation and tastiness.
Pleasantly surprised to get three pure white eggs in a box of 6. First ever for me – thank you.
Apart from various baking recipes, nothing beats a easy-over fried egg done in butter. Omelettes are also good, but your egg’s yolks have a rich orange-yellow colour, not a pale hue which I understand is an indication of freshness.
Fantastic,,I use your eggs for all my baking of cakes , pastry and milk breads ,keep up the good quality,Thank you from Genevieve Gaunt
Hi Farmer Angus. My first call is “support biodynamic and regenerative farmers” and that is why I buy your eggs. Secondly, it simply makes sense to buy eggs that come from the kind of conditions that you create for the hens on the farm, and lastly, because I can get these great eggs at my local Spar!
I love making omelettes with grated cheese, cherry tomatoes and cuts of Farmer Angus prosciutto on them.
Thank you for great food!
I buy your eggs because they taste better than other brands and also look better with a nice yellow yolk.
My favourite egg dish Eggs Benedict, but scrambled on or boiled with toast come close.
Healthy, natural, no added chemicals – free range hens…
Scrambled eggs, of course (and ramen)!
1. I buy your eggs for the rich, multidimensional flavour, egg yolk intensity, and your story about the chickens living conditions, I’ve personally visited and seen them and their unique homes, your employee ethos and sustainably and regeneration commitment. 2. My favourite egg dish is 2 poached eggs on buttery sourdough toast, topped with avo and coriander mash, tomato and red/yellow peppers which kinda embraces all elements of a balanced hearty meal and is usually enjoyed outside in my garden.
I buy your eggs because they are simply the best, for all the right reasons. I like it that the hens have a good life. Favourite dish is plain boiled eggs, or an omelets with cream cheese and honey.
Love the sustainable, regenerative and cruelty free way these eggs are produced. They are the best option at the spar where I usually shop.
1. I buy your eggs because they are regeneratively farmed, and I believe that farming that way will heal the land and is the way forward for the planet in general. It makes practical sense. Of course, I also buy them because they are free of glyphosates and pesticides and are laid by healthy hens. I’ve been on one of your farm tours and have seen it for myself.
2. I cook with eggs every morning, and love the versatility of eggs. So it’s difficult to choose a favourite. Plain old eggs and bacon is always great, but recently I made Quiche Lorrain -which was delicious!
I only buy Farmer Angus eggs (from Alphen Spar, Constantia), because they are the best eggs and because I believe they are laid by happy chickens. They are particularly good for fluffy omelettes.
1. Trustworthy eggs from healthy, happy and ethically treated hens.
2. Scrambled eggs cooked with Ghee every single day.
Brilliant nutrition from a great company
We buy Farmer Angus eggs because we believe in responsible farming – we love that your hens are treated humanely and get to graze freely, that they are fed a diet free of any nasties, and that you’re giving back to the community with your feeding scheme. And your eggs taste amazing, whether poached, boiled and/or in an egg-fried rice!
Good morning.
1. I buy your eggs because of what you passionately protect and believe in.
2. I have two favourite meals: your eggs, boiled, on top of my favourite salad and scrambled eggs. The best!
It feels good knowing that I am eating ‘healthy and happy’ eggs and I feel very privileged to be able to buy the best.
I became aware of your Brand Name during the Covid Pandemic when I read an open letter in which you explained your very progressive and ethical stance on mandates and vaccines for your farm workers. I often saw your meat products in stores, but being a vegetarian, I was delighted to discover your eggs last year and have been brand loyal ever since (except when there is no stock). Where my food comes from, matters to me and I am grateful that the eggs which I consume came from a farm where the welfare and integrity of farm workers, the land and the animals matter a great deal to you.
I love moist scrambled egg on a bed of sautéed greens (preferably from my small veggy garden), served with a slice of sourdough bread (from the same store where I buy my eggs).
I buy your eggs to support happy chickens and promote non intensive and none industrial farming. I have the privilege to be able to pay more for higher quality and would much rather contribute to animal and environmental conscious companies 🙂
Your chickens are genuine free range not hen house. Even though they are about R30 more expensive I like to support your genuine free range & care for your staff … genuine product. Thank you. Because it feels like everyone is on the egg bandwagon now claiming free range but upon research they are just chickens squashed into a hen house & fed, not free to roam.
Hi 😊👋🏽 all of the above, I trust the feedback is not gmo corn and I love that it’s an employee owned business YaY, well done and thank you
Oh dear I meant feed not feedback 😕
Your way of farming supports our low-toxin lifestyle.
I only buy your eggs as they are regeneratively farmed, are GMO free, how the hens are treated and that you are 85% employee owned. I also love the taste and can taste the difference. I also love making scrambled eggs and don’t add anything to them and they are just so creamy (and dreamy). I love that when I buy the eggs that I contribute to a feeding scheme as well. The carton is also recyclable – thank you for your passion and commitment in how you farm overall.
Making scrambled eggs for my Coton de Tulear doggies (not kidding) – they love them, served with a sprinkle of beef biltong. And every now and then I make some for myself 😉
Love the eggs and the fact that they come from happy healthy chickens
We buy them because:
we trust the chickens are being treated ethically
supporting local businesses
no funny stuff in the feed.
(The presentation is also nice, and chicken/farm photo on the box)
Scrambled eggs with feta and homegrown spinach is our go-to 🙂
I use your eggs for many things but mostly for eggs fried in butter on toast in the morning. Breakfast of champions!
All your produce is absolutely excellent because of your ethics and love!
I love good old boiled eggs with salt and/or tabasco 🙂 or an omlette with raw cheese yum
I buy your eggs because they are a good size and they are gmo-free. I know the chickens are well-cared for. I particularly enjoy baking cakes with them.
I buy your eggs because I believe your hens are treated humanely and live out a happy natural life. I hope that they are treated with antibiotics only if they are sick and that they are not fed hormones to grow faster. They are free to roam on green grass and eat worms and insects. 🐛
My favourite dish to make is a frittata with roasted vegetables and feta cheese.
Thanks for doing what you do!
Love to support local farmers and regenerative agriculture and happy to know the money goes to people not big corporations. Our favourite dish is shakshuka with Farmer Angus eggs – nothing better!
