Country Eggs
Country eggs from local farms — smaller than commercial eggs, with a deeper yolk and a firmer white. Delivered by the dozen or the tray.
Country Eggs — how much, and how to cook it
How much to order
A dozen lasts a couple about a week at one egg each most mornings. The 30-tray is the sensible buy for a family.
Cooking it
Country eggs are smaller, so two of them stand in for one large commercial egg in a recipe. The yolk is firmer and holds its shape, which makes them better for frying and poaching than for a fluffy omelette. Keep them out of the fridge door — the temperature swings there are what shortens their life.
Keeping it fresh
Everything is cut after you order and delivered chilled, never frozen — so the clock starts when it reaches your door, not when it left a warehouse. Refrigerate it straight away and use it within two days, or freeze it the same day it arrives.
Country Eggs — FAQs
How are country eggs different?
Smaller, with a darker yolk and firmer white. The shell is thicker too, which is why they travel better than commercial eggs.
How long do they keep?
Two to three weeks refrigerated. Drop one in water to test — a fresh egg sinks and lies flat.
Are they free range?
They come from small local farms with outdoor access. We do not claim a certification we do not hold.
