BC Egg Marketing Board

The BC Egg Marketing Board represents approximately 132 small, family-owned and operated egg farms. These farmers support an industry that feeds its neighbours by providing what could be best described as the perfect food. Our farms are small and this creates a greater connection to the birds that lay the eggs. A more intimate, understandable scale of farming means real people are making responsible decisions about their animals and their welfare.

Our farms are small and this creates a greater connection to the birds that lay the eggs. A more intimate, understandable scale of farming means real people are making responsible decisions about their animals and their welfare. However, BC egg farmers also operate our farms as a business, independently, without government subsidies, and with respect for resources and the products they produce. As a local business egg farmers are supported by other neighbouring businesses and thus we are able to create a stronger, more viable economy for our current and future generations.
