The Egg Project

The Egg Project

We are a family-owned business with a long history of farming free range and organic eggs, never cage, barn or colony. We are nestled among the dune lands near the small coastal settlement of Himatangi Beach in the coastal Manawatu region of New Zealand. We employ local people to work with us, as we value them as much as our animals.


Our chickens spend their days roaming through the grass, picking at bugs, bathing and basking in the sun while finding shade under the pine nuts and other trees when it gets too warm. By night and in the wet weather they are sheltered in warm weatherproof barns. We started small and have continued to grow and between us have over 30 years’ experience. Our ambition is to hold and maintain, and also to exceed our high level of Animal Welfare Standards and requirements under the Animal Welfare Code of Conduct, we never compromise on stocking density and food quality. We hold our animals in the utmost respect.  We have always been Free Range farmers, never cage, colony or barn......our whole farm is Certified Organic under Asure Quality and we are audited 5 times a year.
