At Yolked Up, every egg tells a story of care, quality, and ethical farming. Behind each carton lies a journey that begins with happy, pasture-raised hens and ends at your table. Let’s walk you through the steps each Yolked Up egg takes, from the pasture to your pick-up, ensuring you receive fresh, nutrient-rich eggs every time.
1. Happy Hens on Pasture
Our journey begins with our hens, who are given plenty of outdoor space to roam freely and enjoy a natural diet. Our pasture-raised approach gives each hen access to fresh grass, bugs, and seeds, as well as a secure shelter for nighttime rest. With at least 108 square feet of outdoor space per hen, they live happily and healthily, producing eggs that reflect this superior lifestyle. The high levels of Omega-3s, vitamins, and rich yolk colour in each egg come from their natural diet and active, stress-free life on the pasture.
2. Daily Egg Collection
Each morning, our team carefully collects eggs directly from the nesting boxes in our hen coops. Because our hens lay at different times of the day, we monitor them throughout to make sure every egg is gathered shortly after being laid. By minimising handling and collecting eggs frequently, we ensure that they stay fresh and are in perfect condition when they leave the coop.
3. Cleaning and Quality Check
Once collected, the eggs are brought into our facility for cleaning and quality checks. We use a gentle washing process that protects the eggshell while ensuring that it’s clean and safe. Each egg goes through a thorough inspection to confirm its quality, ensuring there are no cracks or imperfections. This attention to detail helps maintain the freshness and integrity of each egg we deliver.
4. Storing for Freshness
After cleaning and inspection, our eggs are stored in cool, controlled conditions to maintain their freshness. Because we collect eggs daily, our storage period is short. We believe in providing eggs as fresh as possible, which is why our eggs go from the hen to our farm gate pick-up in a matter of days. This dedication to freshness is one of the reasons why our eggs have that farm-fresh taste and rich colour.
5. Ready for Your Pick-Up
Finally, the eggs are packaged and ready for you to pick up at the farm gate. This direct farm-to-customer approach allows us to skip the usual long supply chain, ensuring you receive eggs that are as fresh as possible. Each carton is carefully packed, labeled, and organised for easy pick-up so that you can experience the difference in flavour, freshness, and quality.
The Farm-to-Table Difference
Our commitment to quality doesn’t end with our hens or our farming practices. We believe in transparency and in sharing our journey with our customers. By choosing Yolked Up, you’re supporting a farming method that respects the land, the animals, and the environment. Each egg is a testament to the care we put into every step, from our happy hens to the moment they reach your table.
With Yolked Up, you’re not just getting eggs – you’re getting a farm-fresh experience, backed by ethical farming practices and a dedication to bringing you the best eggs possible.
