Early Bird offer
We are based in el Matarraña, Spain.
Our chickens free range in local olive groves. Their eggs are delivered to villages in el Matarraña within 24-48 hours of being laid. Time and again, I have been told the eggs are worlds apart from anything you can buy from a store. The service is pretty good too!
If you are local, and interested in buying from Olive Grove Eggs in the future:
- Open up a message on the Contact page.
- Put "Early Bird" in the subject. That's it!
- When the chickens come into lay, I will get in touch with you, and if you are still interested, your first dozen eggs will be on me. Some things in life are free.
Thanks.
There is far more to Olive Grove Eggs than selling nutritious eggs to our neighbours. Take a look at the "Value for Value" community-building projects we are working on. If anything appeals you are welcome to participate.
The dreaded questionnaire. Please give it a go!
It's not obligatory, but regardless of where you are, it would be great to read your replies to the following questions, to help me plan accordingly.
The questions will be turned into a slick form, but for now, could you copy the next section and paste it into the contact form and put an astrisk next to the relevant answers.
By all means add comments or add questions you think I should be asking. It's all a process!
How often do you buy eggs?
- Once a week without fail.
- I don't buy eggs regularly.
- I buy in bulk so I never run out.
- How many eggs do you currently buy?
- 1 dozen a week
- 1 dozen a fortnight
- 2, 3, 4 dozen a week, I have a house full of teenagers/run a restaurant
- One of the above, but not regularly.
- Would you expect my super duper free-range eggs to be sold at:
- the same price as normal supermarket free-range eggs.
- below the supermarket price of free-range egg
- above the supermarket price of free-range egg
- same price as eco or bio eggs in the supermarket.
- above the price of eco or bio eggs in the supermarket.
- below the price of eco or bio eggs in the supermarket.
- Would you pay upfront for 3 months' worth of eggs to secure them at today's price?
- No way.
- Yes, I have run the numbers on food price inflation and it could save me a bit of money.
- Yes, and I would sign up 6 months' worth up front.
- Yes, and I would jump at the chance to sign up for 12 months' worth up front.
- Paying for eggs, which best applies to you
- Cash for eggs, end of.
- Card is OK, but with a card machine only. Online is too dangerous or too fiddly.
- Card online is fine, as long as it's through Visa, Stripe or similar.
- QR codes and wallets on phones, that's the only way.
- What's your take on Bitcoin/Lightning as a means of payment?
- Get out of here, Bitcoin is for terrorists and boils the oceans.
- I have dabbled in crypto but will stick to buying eggs with real money, thanks.
- I'm up for learning how to pay with Bitcoin.
- If you accept Bitcoin, sign me up right now! And I have some friends who will be interested too. Better yet, if you are set up for zaps over lightning, I'm in, man!
- Which of these best apply to your tolerance for service?
- I would put up with late or irregular deliveries, if the eggs were cheap.
- I would pay a little over the odds, if the eggs were always available as expected.
- If you cannot deliver eggs at a fair price, on time, every time, forget it, pal, you are never going to make it.
- Which is more appealing?
- Home delivery for an extra 1€
- Collect eggs any time from a local pick-up point at the regular price.
- Would you buy an extra dozen eggs for a local food bank?
- No. Charity begins at home.
- Absolutely. Once a week.
- Yes, but once a month.
Any other thoughts or ideas you have on the ordering and paying process are most welcome. Thanks for your time.
