Our response to the recent US study published in PLOSMEDICINE

Like everything, eggs can be consumed along with a well balanced diet including exercise to sustain a healthy life.

The heart foundation & dietician Sharon Natoli both agree that we can feel reassured about enjoying eggs and there’s many contributing factors to those with higher cholesterol rather than just the humble egg.

So in the meantime we’re enjoying eggs for lunch 🥚

"We felt a need to look at the challenges faced by women on the land, to share skills, information and experiences, and to help each other grow."- Shirley Martin, convenor of the inaugural Gathering held in Warragul in 1990.

I had a hen who could count her eggs!
She was a mathmachicken! 😂

Our eggs are stored in large cool rooms approx 14 degrees. We usually suggest storing your eggs in a dry cool pantry but With the hot weather in full swing we suggest if your house fluctuates temperature or you’re concerned about the heat- Store your eggs in the fridge in their packaging. 🥚

14/01/2021

Our small vans deliver daily to our local community butchers, bread shops, cafes/restaurants, fruiters and more.
We deliver approx 100,000 eggs to these businesses every week!

3rd & 4th Generation Egg Farmers swapping out for some strawberry farming & picking 🍓
We can definitely appreciate how difficult berry picking actually is and hope The Government will assist with the labour shortage across our farming sectors. Until then maybe we will keep supporting our local berry farms and pick our own 💜

What a way to wake up 🤩

Two women have been elected president and vice-president of the federation.

I’ve never been so excited & nervous to say I’ve been voted in as the new Victorian Farmers Federation Vice President. I’m beyond grateful to have an amazing team & support network who have helped me get to such an honorable position. It will be an incredible 2 years having the opportunity to fight for our rights as farmers and tackle the big issues. Thank you to my dad who has seen my potential and pushed me to be the best version of myself. I cannot wait to see what the future holds in this position and thank every farmer who voted for me

In 2016 I took my first solo flight to NSW to discuss issues in the Egg Industry with some amazing young farmers. I never would have thought when I took that flight I’d be running for VP of Victorian Farmers Federation 4 years later. 🤷‍♀️
But here we are- with my face on a flyer 😂

Growing up as a farm kid! 👩🏻‍🌾

1. You will see the sun rise & the sun set (sometimes in the same day) 🌞
2. Manure, mud & dirt are merely an accessory to your work clothes
3. You will EARN your pocket money
4. School holiday programs and sick days from school are just full working days out on the farm
5. You will learn the difference between a farm animal and your pets but treat both with love, respect and kindness
6. You’ll never find children’s farms or a petting zoo as exciting as the rest of the kids- but there’s always the big zoos for that
7. You may have days where you eat your lunch when most have breakfast
8. Weekends are just workdays with less staff
9. You’ll have the best adventures and enjoy being outdoors
10. Family is everything and you’ll never escape them 😅

Sending love from our farm to you 💕

Exciting things coming!
Thank you to Shibca Design for coming down to produce our video! 💜

25/10/2020

Whilst this is an older video and the industry have made significant changes- Anvil Media Video Production did a fab job back in 2007 to produce a story of eggs 🥚

With a toddler now on the farm you can imagine the logistical nightmare 😅
But worst of all is the creativity factor we supposedly lack to keep things interesting for a mind that gets bored after 3 mins and 18 seconds!
But here we are creating mice out of boiled eggs to keep lunch exciting!
Thank goodness she’s an egg lover and also can’t tell mum isn’t the best artist out there!
Lucky I’m a much better farmer than artist 😂

Sending eggy goodness and love 💕

PS. If you have a better egg/ toddler hack! Please tell me 😅😅😅

Appreciation Post!

Farming is full of crazy days/ nights and lots of hard work! And whilst egg farmers do all compete in a sense for price and sale of eggs to Aussie Households we also work together behind the scenes to better the overall industry and learn from each other.

I have some of the most amazing friends all over Australia linked by a love for what we do and am forever grateful I can call SA/WA etc at any time (providing I dont get the time differences wrong 😂) and get some advice on something we may have never faced or hour long chit chat on chickens 🐓

More importantly have you seen this amazing chicken mask! A big thank you to Lina from Casaccio Egg Farm who sent me my own mask after I got a little jealous 😅😅

Sending Egg Love

What a year right?
From Covid to Salmonella to AI outbreaks in the egg industry (not on our farm) we’ve been non stop. Implementing new food safety/ biosecurity programs for both the staff and chickens 🐓
Improving WHS & OHS and finishing of my AG diploma.
Although we’ve had some bumps in the road we’re a family of positivity and we’re so pleased to have the support of all our staff, family/ friends and the most incredible and loyal clientele. Even with this 5km radius we’re still moving forward.
This isn’t a time to slow down and we’re currently planning what our future will look like with the shift.
We will make sure we jump on board with social media again and take the time to keep everyone updated with our crazy farming lives.
💜 D & the rest of LT’s Egg Farm 🥚

My mask is with me- not breaking any rules 😅

We’ve been quiet lately on social media but we’ve been crazy busy!
