The Lakes Free Range Egg Co was developed to be a centre of excellence in the packing and supply of eggs to the retail and food service sector. Our standards match or exceed the best offered by others in the industry.

The highest standards from all farmer suppliers

The high standards set by the “Lakes” apply to our entire farmer egg producer supplier list. It is a standard matched only by a rare few specialist companies.

• All eggs are therefore Free Range
• British Retail Council Higher Level Approval as standard
• No Food Safety Consultants are used, the entire team is in house and trained to standard in HACCP operation by University of Lancaster & University of Salford HACCP innovation centre and then food safety and HACCP systems are independently audited.
• Our packing centres are state of the art and regularly updated to provide an egg quality of unrivalled excellence.
• Our people are our strength so each employee has a 3 year training plan in place to guide and improve their skills. This includes our farmer producers and their staff.
• Our company provides all this whilst maintaining a strong Ethical Trading Policy, independently audited by an external Social Accountability Audit.

In 2011 the Lakes opened a new, state of the art packing station – read more about it.
