About us

Our Story

Co-founders Paul and Jacqui Righetti are 4th generation custodians of their farm in Yandoit, near Daylesford, in Victoria.

Honest Eggs Co. was born out of a school project by their daughter. With strong beliefs in holistic farming methods passed down through generations it was the spark that led them to start egg farming in order to help regenerate the land, build additional income for the local community, and improve animal welfare standards.

Shortly after formation Paul and Jacqui were joined by Co-founders Ian and Kim Garsed – another farming family with the same values from ‘just down the road’. 6 years on there are now 7 x 3rd and 4th generation farming families in the regenerative farming collective.

Our Mission

Out to change egg farming for the better

At Honest Eggs Co. we are on a mission to change egg farming for the better. That means approaching everything with a regenerative mindset, down to the smallest detail. For instance, we eliminated the use of non-biodegradable glue which we used to secure boxes on pallets for transportation. We’ve replaced it with grip sheets instead which can be reused, recycled and composted.

Changing things for the better permeates all we do and if you’re interested in changing an industry with us why don’t you reach out? You never know what it will lead to.

We’re stocked in stores across VIC, NSW, ACT & QLD
