Free-range farm eggs
We can't keep up with demand right now, so online ordering is paused. Please leave your details and how many cartons you'd like each week on the egg waitlist, and we'll contact you in order when eggs are available.
Our hens aren't caged. By day they wander between the fruit trees and vegetable beds eating grass, bugs and fallen fruit, and at dusk they put themselves to bed. They're our helpers: weeding, eating pests, turning the soil — and their manure goes back to feed the trees.
We keep several breeds, so each carton is a mix of shell colours, from white to brown. No lighting tricks, no additives: we collect whenever they lay, so supply follows the seasons — fewer eggs in the cold, during moulting, or when a hen goes broody.
- Price: $13 per carton (a dozen)
- Freshness: collected daily, so you get eggs laid in the last few days
- Storing: keep them in the fridge, and don't wash them until just before use
How we grow
Everything here is grown the same way
Growing the taste you remember
Supermarket fruit keeps getting bigger and prettier, yet somehow it has lost its fragrance and depth. To boost yields and survive long transport, synthetic fertilisers and sprays have become the norm.
What we want to grow is the taste you remember from childhood: fruit picked only once it's ripe on the branch, there when the season comes and gone until next year.
A little slower, a little harder
Farming without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers means:
- Lower yields, and fruit of uneven sizes
- Weeding by hand instead of with herbicides
- Much more care to keep pests and disease away
- Higher costs – but food you can trust
How we look after the soil
Good fruit starts with good soil. We use only natural fertilisers:
- Wood ash: from the farm's own fallen branches and leaves, for potassium
- Sheep manure: from a nearby grazing property, fully composted before use
- Compost: fruit peels, vegetable scraps and chicken manure, slowly composted on the farm
- Seaweed fertiliser: for trace elements
