After months of researching consumers’ needs and hearing  their concerns, one message was clear – Ontarians want to meet egg farmers. By showing their faces and telling their stories, our farmers are connecting with egg lovers across the province.

When we asked Colin and Nicole Vyn why they became egg farmers, here’s what they had to say: “Honestly, being able to hold that egg in your hands every day that the hens you have cared for laid,” says Colin. “It’s remarkable to know that you are producing a healthy, sustainable, safe and affordable food with such a great story behind it.”

Sara Laver says “it’s a great feeling to know that our eggs are on kitchen tables across Ontario. We’re really proud of the quality of our eggs and are glad that it’s an affordable and nutritious product that everyone in Ontario can enjoy.”
