We’re very grateful to have Higgins Poultry Farm supporting us as a Gold Sponsor.

This year is a pretty special one for the Higgins family, as they celebrate 75 years of farming in Wanganui. Established in 1951, the family has been producing quality eggs locally for three generations.

You’ll find Higgins eggs in supermarkets throughout New Zealand through Wholesome NZ, but you can also get them straight from the source!

Next time you’re after some fresh eggs, call into the Higgins Farm Shop at 107 Rapanui Road and pick up fresh eggs straight from the farm at competitive prices. It’s a great way to support a local family business.

🕗 Tuesday to Friday 8am to 5pm
🕗 Saturday 8am to 1.30pm
