Suffolk / East Anglian Egg Packers

[Banana Bar]

Are there any egg packers for free range eggs in this area? Looking at 30,000 plus flocks.

Made an impression on you then surprised you are looking locally for the packer
Will I qualify for an introduction fee?

 

[Daniel]

I know the Havensfield owner personally and they’re a very good packing operation, historically he’s tended to take eggs from smaller flocks than that, but as he’s expanded he may be ready for larger flocks, definitely worth an ask.

Anglia Free Range at Attleborough, more or less exclusively supply Tesco but again, good sound business.

Our packers would definitely be interested, especially with you being at Bury St Edmunds, they really need to step up from a rigid lorry to an artic for collections from us now and another producer nearby would help. Happy to make the introductions to any of them.

What has made you want to jump in may I ask?

Oh , forgot you left early.
I know it won’t help but you really missed something quite awe inspiring

It doesn’t have to be local @Banana Bar where we went have producers much further away than you. Speak to WH and PW about their views of what we saw. It’s about the partnership

Why wouldn’t you look for a local packer as a first port of call though?

Fair point …… but it’s what they can really add to the Buisness.
