We are firm believers in looking at the world differently and making it a fairer place. With our background in sustainability, education and food production we wanted to look at a new way of supplying food to the people.
The Egg Project was initially hatched with raising funds in mind. We wanted to find a way to work with all types of groups, such as early childhood centres, kindergartens, schools, sports groups, churches, Not for Profit groups, community groups, retirement villages and even businesses.
The way most people currently purchase eggs results in the middle men and retailer making a rather large profit margin, leaving the producer(us) and purchaser(you) to cover that cost.
With our model, the producer gets a fair price for their eggs and you get to buy amazing nutritious fresh Free-range and Free-range Organic eggs at an affordable price and the profit margin goes to your group/community/business for fundraising, where we think it belongs and can make a difference. Through doing this there are many other benefits such as shortening the supply chain and keeping it reliable and the eggs fresh, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of our eggs.
So how does this work?
You contact us to register and we discuss how this will work best for your group.
In short, we have a set cost price for both our Free-Range and Certified Organic Dozen packs. We then add $1.00 per pack (otherwise known as the profit margin) and we sell these to the people within your group and give you back this fundraised margin at the end of the set period.
- We together select a period for how long you would like to run the project ie school/kindy term, or say, 10 weeks
- All of our group get their eggs delivered on a Thursday ready for collection on the same day or Friday.
- Tuesday Midnight is the shut off point for that weeks orders.
- We give you a link to send out to all your people to visit our website and have a look as to what this is all about. This will have the specific details of your price of eggs and the collection day and time.
- We create some promotional material, such as posters and social media posts that you can use to remind people to get their egg orders in.
- We give them a unique code that is just for your group (this can include neighbours, friends, families and your support networks)
- They sign up, select what type of eggs they like, how many and how often
- They choose which type of eggs they want, then choose to pay for their eggs weekly or subscribe for a longer period of time
- You group members can also set up subscriptions that automatically pause for School Holidays etc, and reactivate when school goes back.
- At the end of your selected period, we give you back the profit margin for your fundraising
- Also under these uncertain times - if you have to isolate or stay home for a period of time, just flick us an email and we will make sure your eggs get to you somehow!
All very simple, after all our motto is “all things good!”
