COUNTRY GOLDEN YOLKS

Our Story!
Country Golden Yolks is a unique poultry operation in the heart of the Fraser Valley.  It all started in 1989 when the Luteyn family bought a white laying poultry operation. Wanting to try something new, they decided to change all the white laying hens to brown and give these birds the opportunity to go outside in the pasture during the day and have a nice roosting place for at night. This is where the “Free Range Egg” came to be.
Because of the high demand for free range eggs Country Golden Yolks has grown. The Luteyn family has retired, but Country Golden Yolks is still in the family and there are now 6 farms owned and operated by new families in the Fraser valley. We all work together to ensure that your families enjoy our fresh free range eggs!

2013 10 - Country Golden Yolks

Our Product!
Country Golden Yolks Free Range Eggs are a strong brown shell and a beautiful golden yolk. We believe that the “Best food is Natural Food”  Our hens live in a neutral free range environment which means they have access to the pasture and feed on natural ground cover. They eat a special diet with no animal by-products, and high in protein. For a list of stores that carry our product you can visit our website at www.countrygoldenyolks.com

Our Mission!
Our mission at Country Golden Yolks is to produce ” EGGS THE WAY NATURE INTENDED THEM TO BE”

Fall is a great time to seed

2013/09/03

Fall is coming soon to the Fraser Valley… and it’s a great time to seed.  The cool nights and mild, shorter days provide the ideal conditions for seed germination. Seed is better able to retain moisture in these conditions and seedlings will thrive without the extreme heat that occurs in the summer months.

And we are offering a BONUS of 100 AIR MILES® reward miles for all seeding orders in September and October!  Call us today to arrange for an onsite quote for seeding.
