Why Hamilton Eggs?
A Division of the Hamilton Farm Bureau Cooperative, Inc. since 1926
Hamilton Eggs has been a Division of the Hamilton Farm Bureau since 1926. Our eggs are produced locally, on second and third generation family farms. With the exception of Sunday, the eggs are processed the same day they are laid. The hens are all fed with Michigan grown corn!

All of our eggs come from United Egg Producer (UEP) Certified hens. This means that the farms are audited annually by a third party to ensure that the eggs are produced in strict accordance with United Egg Producers Animal Husbandry Guidelines. These guidelines have been endorsed by the Food Marketing Institute and National Council of Chain Restaurants. Our hens never come in contact with a rooster, guaranteeing that all of our eggs are unfertilized. An end user will never open an egg that contains an embryo.

Innovation in Quality Assurance of Shell Eggs Since the 1920s
Hamilton Eggs has been innovative in quality assurance of shell eggs since the 1920s.
As early as 1931, Hamilton Eggs controlled flocks and feeding as a way to prevent disease in the hens.

In 1932, Hamilton Eggs installed then-modern candling equipment and instituted an egg quality program.

In 1935, Cornell University ranked Hamilton Eggs first in quality nationwide.

In 1938, Hamilton Eggs was instrumental in launching Michigan’s egg standardization program. The dedication and pursuit of excellence in quality and food safety has continued to grow over the next 80 years.

Today, our eggs are robotically packaged using ultra modern technology. This protects the egg by minimizing any contact by human hands.

Hamilton Eggs has achieved a Food Safety Excellence rating on our NSF Cook & Thurber Audit
Hamilton Eggs has consistently achieved an Excellent rating on our NSF Cook & Thurber Food Safety, Quality and Food Defense Audit Average Score. This audit score places our operation in the top ten percent of all NSF Cook & Thurber audits. This audit is significantly more stringent than a USDA audit.

The NSF program is well-recognized throughout industry for its thoroughness and benchmarking to best practices. The audit score represents the excellence that our business delivers in establishing and executing the processes that ensure the food safety and quality of our products.

Our organization’s food safety and quality management system is an internal system, put together by employees to guarantee that the highest standards of food safety and quality are met. The system provides checks for safety, food safety, quality, inventory control and internal audits that verify system effectiveness, continual improvement, identifying best practices and meeting customer requirements.
