British Farming Champions
At St. Ewe, we are farmers first. The journey to producing the finest free-range eggs starts long before the sun rises, and it never truly ends. Farming is a 24/7, 365-day commitment, and we embrace it wholeheartedly through all seasons.
From the cold, dark evenings of Winter to the long, sunlit days of Summer, we’re always working to ensure the health and happiness of our hens. Whether it’s tending to the flock at dawn or monitoring their welfare through the night, we understand that farming isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. It’s tough, unpredictable, and deeply rewarding.
This dedication goes hand in hand with our pride in being part of British agriculture. As British farmers, we’re not just producing food; we’re contributing to a legacy. The eggs we nurture are central to your home baking, family meals, and celebrations, embodying the very best of British farming. We stand alongside the farming community, championing innovation and sustainability while staying rooted in tradition.

Together, we celebrate the passion and perseverance that keeps British agriculture thriving. Because for us, farming isn’t just about producing eggs—it’s about crafting a better future, one day and one season at a time.
Let’s Talk About Eggs: The Power of Nature’s Superfood
Egg production is a marvel of nature, made possible by the humble hen, or as we fondly refer to them: Our Girls. Beyond their natural brilliance, eggs play a vital role in our daily lives and the wider food system, delivering unmatched nutrition, versatility, and sustainability.
British Family Farmers
At St. Ewe, our farmers are the heartbeat of everything we do. Spanning the length and breadth of the UK—from the southernmost tip of Cornwall to the vibrant countryside of Northern Ireland and beyond—they are the people who make it all possible.
We are proud to work with dedicated British family farms that share our unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and the highest standards in egg production. Becoming a St. Ewe Producer Farmer means more than just supplying eggs; it means joining a family-run business built on open communication, mutual respect, and continuous support.
Together, we’re crafting a better future for British agriculture, one egg at a time!
Have a question?
White vs brown eggs, what’s the crack?
The colour of the eggshell is dependent on the breed of the hen. In general, white hens produce white eggs and brown hens produce brown eggs. Since the 1980s the British industry has produced almost 100 percent brown-shelled eggs, although several other countries still produce predominantly white-shelled eggs. There is no nutritional difference between white and brown-shelled eggs.
Are eggs good for you?
You would be hard-pressed to find a food that contains such an ideal mixture of nutrients as eggs as they are one of nature’s superfoods; fitting into many diets and lifestyles. Along with high levels of quality protein, eggs are naturally rich in vitamin D, B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium and they contain several other essential dietary vitamins and minerals.
How do you know if an egg is fresh?
All our eggs carry a date stamp; however, if you want to double-check, you can pop your egg into a glass or bowl of water. If it sinks, it’s fresh, and if it floats, it’s stale.
