Explore St. Ewe's Free Range Eggs
Not all free-range eggs are created equal. At St. Ewe, we've spent over 40 years proving it.
Born from a Cornish farming family and built on a deep conviction that well-cared-for hens make extraordinary eggs, our range has grown from a single packing line in 1982 to become the choice of Michelin-starred restaurants and foodie households across the UK.
Every egg in our range is free-range - laid by hens with genuine space to roam, forage, and live well. But we don't stop there. From our everyday Originals to our Rich Yolk® eggs, each variety is crafted with a specific purpose in mind: to perform beautifully, taste extraordinary, and make the cook look good.
THE ST. EWE RANGE
FREE RANGE. NATURALLY.
Our free-range eggs are produced by a trusted network of British family farmers who each share our values of welfare, transparency, and quality. Every hen lives the outdoor life she deserves - free to roam, forage, and flourish.
Whether you're a chef who demands the richest yolk on the plate, a baker who won't settle for anything less than a perfect white, or a home cook who just wants the best egg on the market, you'll find it here.
RICH YOLK - THE CHEF'S EGG
DEVELOPED WITH CHEFS. CHOSEN BY MICHELIN STARS
If there is one egg in our range that defines the St. Ewe difference, it is Rich Yolk®. Developed with industry professionals and refined with input from some of the UK's finest chefs, Rich Yolk has become our most celebrated variety, and the most trusted free-range egg in professional kitchens across the country.
The secret is in the feed. Our hens are nourished on a carefully formulated diet that includes marigold petals and a nature-identical paprika extract. This creates yolks of an exceptional, deep-orange intensity - the richest on the Yolk Scale - that hold their colour through cooking, baking, and heat.
Whether folded into pasta, set into a patisserie cream, or simply poached on a plate, the result is unmistakable. Trusted by Michelin-starred restaurants and chosen for The Roux Scholarship national final, this is the free-range egg that chefs reach for when it matters most.
Available in retail 6 & 10-packs (mixed weight). For food service, please refer to our Professional Range.
RICH YOLK LUXURIOUSLY LARGE
MAXIMUM YOLK. MAXIMUM IMPACT.
Everything you love about Rich Yolk® (the deep-orange intensity, the complex flavour, the exceptional whites) in a large egg format that makes a statement. Selected from hens at the perfect time, our Luxuriously Large eggs are the choice for dishes where presentation and performance are everything.
For pasta that catches the light. For patisserie that stops the table. For the moment when the egg on the plate needs to be perfect.
Available in retail 6-packs (large).
ST. EWE ORIGINALS

SUPER EGGS - SUPER NUTRITIOUS, PROPER DELICIOUS
EGGS THAT GO FURTHER
Nutrition has always been at the heart of what we do. Our carefully formulated feed programmes mean that every St. Ewe egg is naturally richer than the average - and our Super Eggs™ take that a step further.
Our Super Eggs™ are enhanced with higher levels of Selenium and Omega-3 - nutrients that many of us simply don't get enough of. Without changing the taste or the look that St. Ewe is known for, our Super Eggs™ give you more from every free-range egg.
Available in retail 6-packs (mixed weight).
A TRUSTED PARTNER, NOT JUST A SUPPLIER
Great cooking starts with great ingredients. That's the reason the most exacting chefs in the country have made St. Ewe their egg of choice.
We've always believed that the best way to develop an egg worthy of professional kitchens is to work alongside the people who use them.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT FREE RANGE EGG?
The term 'free range' has a legal definition, but at St. Ewe, we hold our hens (and ourselves) to a far higher standard than the minimum required
Free-range hens must have outdoor access, but at St. Ewe we go further: we work only with British family farmers who share our belief that welfare is the foundation of a better egg. Hens that roam, forage, and live in genuinely low-stress environments produce eggs with richer nutrition, more complex flavour, and greater functional performance in the kitchen.
Our carefully formulated feed programmes complement this outdoor lifestyle, ensuring every St. Ewe hen receives the nutrients she needs to produce the very best egg she can. The result is an egg that consistently outperforms in taste, presentation, and professional application, egg after egg.ste Difference. Choose St. Ewe.
From Cornwall and farms across the UK to the country's finest kitchens, St. Ewe free-range eggs are produced with a purpose: to be the best egg, from the best hens, for the best cooks.

FAQs ABOUT FREE-RANGE EGGS
What makes St. Ewe eggs different from other free-range eggs?
Most free-range eggs meet a basic legal standard - outdoor access and a defined stocking density. St. Ewe goes further on every measure: RSPCA Assured welfare, carefully formulated feed programmes that affect the nutritional profile and flavour of the egg, independent quality auditing through the British Lion Code, and B Corp certification that holds us accountable on social and environmental performance.
What does free range mean for eggs?
In the UK, hens must have continuous access to an outdoor range during daylight hours to qualify as free range. The maximum indoor stocking density is 9 hens per square metre. At St. Ewe, we work exclusively with British family farms that meet and exceed these requirements - with RSPCA Assured welfare standards covering everything from housing design to daily management.
What is the Red Lion / British Lion mark?
The British Lion mark (the Red Lion Code) is the UK's most trusted egg quality mark. It guarantees that eggs are laid by hens vaccinated against Salmonella, produced to strict hygiene standards, and independently audited throughout the supply chain. All St. Ewe eggs carry the Lion mark.
What makes Rich Yolk® eggs different — and how are they better for cooking?
Rich Yolk® eggs are produced by hens fed a specific diet that includes marigold petals and nature-identical paprika extract, creating yolks with the richest orange colour on the Roche scale. This golden colour is stable through cooking, baking, and reheating - meaning the pasta, patisserie, or sauce you plate will look as vibrant as it did in development. The whites are also notably firm and clear, with a strong protein structure ideal for whipping, meringues, and soufflés.
Are St. Ewe eggs suitable for professional foodservice?
Yes - and we've built our catering range specifically with professional kitchens in mind. Our eggs are available in catering boxes of 5, 15, and 30 dozen.. Our packaging, sizing consistency, freshness, and quality certifications are all designed for the demands of professional foodservice. We also partner with premium distributors including Classic Fine Foods for fine dining accounts.
Where are St. Ewe eggs produced?
St. Ewe is based at Resparveth Farm, Grampound Road, Cornwall - in the heart of the Westcountry. We work with a trusted network of British family farmers, primarily in the South West and Wales, who share our values of welfare, quality, and transparency. All our free-range eggs are packed at our Cornwall facility.
What is B Corp certification, and why does it matter?
B Corp is an independent global certification awarded to businesses that meet verified standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. St. Ewe became the first UK-founded egg packer to achieve B Corp certification in Europe, with a score of 84.0 - well above the 50.9 median for ordinary businesses.
Do St. Ewe hens receive any special feed?
Yes. Every product in our range is produced with a feed programme tailored to the variety. Our Rich Yolk® hens receive a diet to achieve the characteristic deep-orange yolk colour. Our Super Eggs come from hens fed to produce higher levels of Selenium and Omega-3. All our hens receive a nutritious, carefully balanced diet that complements their free-range lifestyle.
Are St. Ewe eggs available online or in supermarkets?
Our eggs are widely available across the UK. You can find St. Ewe in Tesco, Ocado, Morrisons, Booths, and The Modern Milkman, as well as through specialist fine-food distributors, including Classic Fine Foods. For foodservice enquiries, please contact us directly.
Are St. Ewe eggs suitable for vegetarians?
