Then & Now
Bartlet Eggs has been operating for about a hundred years, but was only officially registered in 1981. We have since grown to become a trusted egg supplier within the industry.
Bartlet Eggs prides itself on providing excellent eggs at affordable prices, following safety practices to ensure our products are of the highest quality.
In the past we supplied most of our eggs to other companies, who were both responsible for the grading and distribution. We now have our own sales team, working hard to develop the Bartlet Eggs brand in the market.
As a company, Bartlet Poultry is working hard to instil a culture of taking pride in our efforts to deliver a consistent, high-quality product.

Pack station & Distribution
Our Pack Station
At the heart of Bartlet Eggs is our state-of-the-art pack station. Here, we adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and quality control to ensure every egg we handle meets our rigorous criteria. Our process includes:
- Collection and Sorting: Our eggs are collected daily from our carefully managed and humane farms. Each egg is inspected and sorted by size and quality using advanced automated systems.
- Cleaning and Sanitization: We use eco-friendly cleaning methods to sanitize every egg, ensuring they are free from contaminants while maintaining their natural protective coating.
- Grading: Eggs are graded based on FSA Accredited standards, ensuring consistency in size, weight, and shell quality. This guarantees that whether you purchase a dozen large or extra-large eggs, you receive exactly what you expect.
- Packaging: Our eggs are packaged in eco-friendly cartons designed to protect them during transportation. We offer various packaging options to cater to different customer needs, from small family packs to larger bulk orders for businesses.
Distribution Network
Bartlet Eggs has developed a comprehensive distribution network to ensure our eggs reach you swiftly and safely. Our logistics strategy includes:
- Local and Regional Deliveries: We have a fleet of refrigerated trucks that make daily deliveries to local grocery stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and food service providers. This ensures our eggs are always fresh and available when you need them.
- Partnerships with Retailers: We partner with a range of retailers, from large supermarket chains to independent grocers, ensuring our eggs are widely available throughout the region.
- Direct-to-Consumer Sales: For your convenience, we offer direct-to-consumer sales through our online store. You can order our eggs and have them delivered straight to your doorstep, maintaining the same level of freshness as if you picked them up yourself.
The word “yolk” derives from an Old English word for “yellow”.
Therefore, it is egg white and egg yellow
Food Safety
It is the policy of Bartlet Poultry to view the quality and food safety of our eggs during grading, packing and distribution holistically and not as a stand-alone entity, incorporating all aspects impacting on the food chain.
We fully believe in order to achieve consistent and continual food safety, total quality must be a culture within our management systems. In order to achieve this goal, Bartlet Poultry has established a system which encompasses and embraces a farm to fork vision which also considers the following:
- Maintaining high standards of farm practices from rearing to laying farms
- High standards of food safety practices at the packing stations to ensure the best quality product for our customers.
- Strong sales and distribution teams to ensure one-on-one customer relations within both retail customers and consumers.
Life is like boiling an egg; it's all about finding the
perfect balance of heat and timing to get the best outcome.
