The Splendid Egg Logo

After almost 10 years we have made the difficult decision to process our last Splendid Egg.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone that bought Splendid Eggs throughout the years and supported our little business.

Selling our eggs into cafes, restaurants, butchers, bakeries, local supermarkets, direct to customers at farmer markets and donating to local community events and organisations gave us such a wonderful insight into the incredibly creative and passionate people in our community.

The relationships we built selling our product was one the best parts of The Splendid Egg and we cannot thank you all enough for your support of local, small scale, fresh produce made directly on family farms.

We would also like to thank our brilliant team that has worked with us over the years in our processing shed. We could not have done this without you.

Thanks everyone! Keeping supporting local business. There are some amazing people out there doing amazing things.

With love,
The Splendid Egg Crew
