From selling eggs outside her home, Chloe now delivers across whole of Northampton

A free-range egg seller who started out in their home village is now expanding to deliver further afield...including Northampton

Chloe Southgate set up selling eggs to her neighbours and the community in East Hunsbury to help get fresh eggs during the Coronavirus lockdown.

"Due to how popular this service is we are now super busy also delivering to Collingtree, Duston, Upton, Blisworth, Roade, Abington, Northampton Town and Moulton to name a few as well as East and West Hunsbury," Chloe explained on her Facebook page.

"As we also have a separate page running for Brixworth and our 50 customers there," she added.

All the eggs are XL free range and are purchased from Bird Bros farms in Bedfordshire.

"There are lots of happy hens there - and this is confirmed by our customers as apparently a sign of happy hens are double yolkers and we’ve had plenty of reports of those," Chloe said.

The prices for the eggs are £1.70 for 6, £3.40 for 12 and £5.50 for a tray of 20.

Deliveries are on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 8am and 11.30am. Customers leave money at the door, eggs are then placed down and deliverers walk away, so it is completely contactless.

Collections are also available outside Chloe's home in Shard Close, East Hunsbury, every Saturday afternoon.
