Why some eggs are white — and why the Farmhouse Gift Tray is a gift that truly stands out

Discover freshness, nutrition, and the perfect gift alternative — now on special at R80!

When Timothy Jefferies — Kempton Park’s rising young entrepreneur — relaunched the Farmhouse Gift Tray, many people asked: “Why are some eggs white?” The simple answer: the color of an egg comes from the hen’s breed, not from differences in quality or nutrition. Here’s why these eggs — and this gift tray — are so special:.

1. Why some eggs are white

Shell colour is determined by the hen’s breed. White-feathered hens with white earlobes lay white eggs; red-feathered hens with red earlobes lay brown eggs. The pigment only affects the outer shell — the nutrition inside remains the same.

2. Nutrition & freshness

Both white and brown eggs contain high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins. What matters most is how the hens are raised and how fresh the eggs are. The Farmhouse Gift Tray ensures same-week freshness with organic, free-range quality — delivering a richer taste and firmer yolk.

3. The Farmhouse Gift Tray Value

The Farmhouse Gift Tray isn’t just about eggs — it’s about experience. With hand-packed freshness, organic quality, and beautiful presentation, it’s easily worth over R100. Now on special for only R80, it’s an opportunity to enjoy premium local produce and support a young entrepreneur making headlines in Kempton Park.

4. The perfect alternative gift

Why bring flowers when you can gift freshness? The Farmhouse Gift Tray makes for a thoughtful, practical, and elegant gift — something unique that replaces the usual bouquet with something your loved one can actually enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dare to find out the truth about your eggs? Most supermarket eggs are weeks old, tasteless, and often come from stressed, caged hens. You think you’re getting fresh eggs—but what you’re really paying for is convenience. At The Egg Shack, we break the mold: eggs collected within days, bursting with flavor and freshness, and raised responsibly. Curious yet? 

What makes The Egg Shack’s eggs special?

At The Egg Shack, we provide eggs that are fresher than your typical supermarket eggs, often collected within days of reaching your table—not weeks old. While not all our hens are free-range, we ensure they are raised responsibly, with attention to their well-being. By choosing our eggs, you’re supporting a young South African entrepreneur committed to quality and freshness—helping nurture the next wave of local food innovators.

How fresh are your eggs?

Extremely fresh! Unlike standard eggs that may sit for a month before reaching you, our eggs are collected and delivered quickly, ensuring superior taste, texture, and nutritional value.

How should I store the eggs to maintain freshness?

Store your eggs in the fridge, preferably in their original tray. Avoid washing until use to keep their natural protective coating intact and preserve peak freshness.

Don’t read this if you’re happy with typical supermarket eggs…

Most eggs you find in stores aren’t as fresh as you think. Many sit for weeks—or even over a month—before reaching your fridge, losing both taste and essential nutrients along the way. Some come from hens crammed into tiny cages, unable to move freely, never seeing sunlight, and living in stressful conditions that affect the quality of their eggs. Even “free-range” labels can be misleading, as some hens barely get access to open space. When you crack these eggs, you’re not tasting the farm—you’re tasting a product that’s been processed, stored, and packaged for convenience, not flavor or nutrition.

Are The Egg Shack eggs expensive?

Not at all. You get Woolworths-level quality, for less than typical supermarket prices. Freshness, care, and better flavor—without the inflated cost.
