Our Eggs

The freshness of our eggs is guaranteed by our unique position of using eggs produced predominantly from our own farms that are collected and packed daily. This means that it is normal for our eggs to be in the shops within 24 hours of being laid. It is for this reason some of the country’s most demanding (and famous) customers choose us to supply their free range and organic eggs.

Free Range - Our commitment to quality means that we are fully accredited to both the RSPCA Freedom Food and BEIC Lion code schemes. In addition, our packing station has reached the highest level of food hygiene and quality control by acquiring British Retail Consortium approval - a feat few others would even try to emulate! All this ensures that when you buy our James Potter Farmhouse eggs you can be guaranteed that not only have they been produced to the very highest standards, but also the welfare and environmental conditions are far higher than is required by law. As a result our eggs are believed to be healthier, tastier and fresher than any other commercially produced eggs!

Organic - Our organic farm on the outskirts of Ripon, North Yorkshire covers an area of approximately 200 acres of organic pasture, which the hens share with a herd of organic dairy cattle. In addition to our own unique on-farm standards the whole farm is run under the strict guidelines of the Soil Association and Organic Farmers & Growers accreditation bodies. The hens are housed in small mobile sheds, which are moved around the farm to ensure they have constant access to fresh green pasture. Each state of the art shed provides the hens with plenty of space in which they can exhibit their natural behaviour, as well as easy access to food/water and protection from the elements. Attached to each shed is a veranda, which provides a sheltered area in which the hens can scratch and gain easy access to the pasture.

Our Packing centre itself is one of the most up to date facilities in the country from which all our eggs are graded, packed and delivered using our own distribution service.

All our eggs are labelled with a Best Before date, Production Method (1=Free Range, 0=Organic), Country of Origin and Producer code. Used in conjunction with our Quality Control procedures we can trace every egg back to the date and flock it was laid. Likewise, because it has only ever been our policy to handle free range eggs you can always feel assured that you are getting the genuine article.
