Majura Valley Free Range Eggs

Majura Farm Shopping Guide

Why You Should Visit

• Experience the Sunflowers: The location offers a spectacular sunflower display, especially beautiful in March. You'll find a large maze and a vibrant field of sunflowers perfect for photos.
• Pick-Your-Own & Purchase Sunflowers: You can walk through the sunflower fields, take selfies, and even pick your own sunflowers to take home. The sunflowers themselves are available for purchase.
• High-Quality Farm Fresh Eggs: This is a primary reason to visit! The farm gate is known for exceptionally fresh, free-range eggs. You'll find S, L, and XL egg sizes available, sold by the dozen or in 30-packs. The freshness is noticeable in the taste and how they perform when cooking, even when just using egg whites. The yolks are particularly satisfying.
• Other Fresh Produce & Local Goods: You can purchase locally sourced produce, including vegetables, jersey cow milk, honey, jams, and other products. The farm also sometimes offers local cheeses and meats.
• Convenient & Easy Shopping Experience: The "honesty outlet" is a self-serve, air-conditioned barn with credit card facilities, making it a convenient stop. Plenty of parking is available. The eggs and produce are located right by the sunflower display.
• Family-Friendly Environment: The sunflower maze is a fun activity for kids. A sweet dog is often present and friendly with children.
• Support Local Farmers: Buying from this farm gate is a way to support local farmers and experience a bit of real country living within the Canberra community.
• Unique Shopping Experience: It's more than just buying eggs; it offers a lovely country atmosphere. The location is perfect for a stop during the summer to enjoy the sunflowers.
• Gifting Options: The locally made jams are perfect for gifts.
• Specials Available: You'll find that the specials are written on a barn board.

Why You Might Consider Alternatives

• Long Lines: Be aware that the popularity of the farm, especially during peak sunflower season or egg demand, can lead to long lines, especially at the egg sales area.
• Produce Availability: While fresh produce is available, the selection can vary. It's wise to call ahead to check for specific produce, as some items may not always be in stock.
• Location & Petrol Costs: Consider that a trip solely for eggs might be costly depending on petrol prices. Think of it as a convenient stop if you're already in the area, for instance, when you go to Costco or IKEA.
• Price Consideration: While the eggs are reasonably priced, compare the prices to supermarket eggs to see if it suits your budget.
• Farm gate operation is more like an "honesty" system: You may be expected to make your payment with credit card facilities.
