The power of the egg

We love receiving a fresh warm egg or two from our feathered friends every morning, but have you ever thought about how one egg a day could be the new breakfast health trend? We’re not talking about hens laying more eggs, as they already work hard enough, but a new initiative named ‘Vision 365’ which aims to promote the consumption of at least one egg per person per day in the name of health. The campaign aims to build the reputation of the egg based on the scientific fact that eggs are an essential food for health.

The International Egg Commission (IEC) unleashes its new 10-year boost to double egg consumption globally. And we hope the IEC remembers hen welfare during its promotional campaign and will be watching.

The power of the egg is even more reason to adopt a flock yourself, so you can eat sustainable, free-range happy eggs all year round.
