The journey of an egg from farm to table video

http://www.virtualfarmtours.ca Once an egg leaves the farm, it still has a lot of steps to go through before it makes it to your kitchen table. Meet Margaret Hudson, President of Burnbrae Farms, and see how an egg is identified, cleaned, graded and sorted before it is sent to the grocery store. Transcript: Welcome to Burnbrae Farms. My name is Margaret Hudson. Burnbrae Farms is owned by my family and is a fourth generation Canadian business. Let me take you on the journey that an egg makes from the farm to your table. So all across Canada there are many egg producers and trucks will leave facilities like ours and pick up the eggs at the local egg producer and bring them back to be graded. The ungraded eggs are kept in our cooler. We have a ticket that identifies each producer and the skid of eggs affiliated with each producer and the ticket will identify if they're just regular eggs or Omega 3 eggs or free run eggs and keep them separate. And then the ungraded eggs will move to our grading room to be graded for the supermarkets. Then the eggs are taken using suction cups from the cases and loaded onto the conveyor belt where they go through the washer. Each egg is thoroughly washed and then dried and then they move on to the candling booth. The eggs are candled for imperfections like dirty shells or cracks. The eggs with imperfections will go down a separate line and only the Grade A eggs will make it to the local grocery store. The eggs are graded by weight and every egg is weighed. Large eggs will go down a separate line from medium eggs and Extra Large or Jumbo eggs. We are able to separate the eggs out using our computer system. The eggs come down the line and are deposited into the different cartons. Then the cartons are co-dated with a code that enables us to trace back the egg to the producer. Then the carton is closed and it comes up the line and one of the operators will put the eggs onto a cart or a returnable basket or into a fibre box. The eggs travel down the line. An operator will take the case off and put it on a skid. From there the eggs wait in a cooler to be assembled for each individual grocery store's order. From there, the eggs are shipped on a truck and delivered to the grocery store. On average, the eggs that you find in a grocery store are no more than a week old. Thank you for joining us on this journey. I hope you've learned more about nature's most perfect food.
