What we do
An innovative egg marketing co-operative, EggSell is the brainchild of two Yorkshire farming families who became disillusioned by supplying free range eggs to a major packer for dwindling returns.
EggSell was established because the founders believe in an egg industry where producers and retailers can work together in order to sustain farmers’ livelihoods and satisfy the consumer’s desire for local produce with exemplary welfare credentials.
It’s a refreshing back to basics approach where producers pay just £1 for a share with full voting rights. From its East Yorkshire base, EggSell Producers Ltd co-ordinates the flow of eggs from producers to packers and makes payments to members whilst EggSell Ltd Sales and Marketing ensures that there is always a market for the members’ eggs, be that retail, wholesale or catering.
EggSell Producers Ltd deals in all egg and intends to reward members with good prices, regular payments, and subject to good market conditions, annual bonuses alongside the buying power associated with a large group. A lean and mean approach to cost control will mean that producers will benefit from the best possible returns.
EggSell welcomes enquiries from producers who already keep hens or from farmers who may be thinking about diversification (a comprehensive advice service is all part of the co-operative’s commitment to its members). For those looking at free range production, we can help you to become new producers by offering you the choice between a franchise type of package, or opting for the original EggSell concept, whereby, with the support of EggSell you organise the project, and we then market the egg on your behalf.
