Watch these 3 virtual egg farm tours

Taking a farm tour is one of the best ways to understand where your eggs come from. These virtual egg farm tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at a variety of hen housing systems. Egg farmers take great pride in providing a range of choice—from classic white and brown eggs to enriched colony, free run and free range, to organic and vitamin-enhanced. Every time you choose Canadian eggs, you’re choosing a fresh, nutritious, high-quality food that’s produced according to rigorous standards.
