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?

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

Because they’re glyphosate and GMO free, and the hens genuinely range in grass with real bugs, and sleep in egg mobiles. Favourite prep: scrambled 🤗
I buy the eggs because I support ethical compassionate farming practices. I know that battery chickens lead an excruciatingly cruel life. Many of the so called “free range” eggs sold in this country are a scam. Pasture-raised chickens lay far better tasting eggs which are great for baking. I don’t want my family consuming GMO products nor products containing hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and fungicides.
My favourite thing to make is Huevos a la Mexicana (Mexican Style Scrambled Eggs).
We buy your eggs because they are from free graze, GMO free hens. Similarly we buy your cold meat because it is nitrite free. As a family we are very conscious of putting only the best, natural food into our home, and your products are aligned with that thinking.
I only buy Farmer Angus eggs because they are raised on a biodynamic farm.
Most other “free range” eggs are definitely not free range.
I walked on Spier and saw their hens, all walking freely in the pastures. Thank you Angus and team for such pure eggs.
I bought your eggs because I care about chicken welfare, and you seem to treat them kindly.

I had my own (French Maran) hens for many years when I lived in the English countryside. The yolks of these eggs are bright yellow just like those used to be. Fresh and from happy hens. Love a sunny side up egg fried in butter on sourdough or a softboiled egg on toast for my lunch. Sunshine food!
I buy your eggs for the rich, multidimensional flavour, egg yolk intensity, and your story. And I can get it at my local Spar . Now I bought your Salami as well, same reason with the pigs. I hesitated to buy the other sliced ham etc. , because I can’t see the product / slices in the package.
1. Farmer Angus chickens form a valuable part of the regenerative farming system. The chickens are fed a GMO-free diet.
I’ve met Angus and some of the others at Farmer Angus, and have a personal connection to the produce that I don’t have with other egg suppliers.
2. I use the yolks to wash my hair, and slow-cook the whites for my dog. Win-win.
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!
