About us

Hardeman Egg Group
Brand values
01 Reliable

Our ambition? To be a reliable partner for laying poultry farmers and customers. We deliver quality and we uphold our agreements. In addition, our processes are safeguarded. Customers and laying poultry farmers can rely on our loyalty and commitment. We take our responsibility and help where necessary. We consider that obvious.

02 Offering a future

We invest not only in the future of our companies and employees but also in the future of our poultry farmers. There would be no eggs without them. We invest in the sustainability and optimization of the stables and prioritize the well-being of the chickens. The poultry farmers? They can focus on their animals and on animal health. Because a healthy chicken lays an egg that is naturally better.

03 Together

Our employees and poultry farmers constitute the foundation of the Hardeman Egg Group. Together, we manage the entire chain. And together, we strive for reliable, high-quality eggs, and egg products. Most importantly, we aim for work enjoyment for our employees and poultry farmers.

04 Sustainable

The Hardeman Egg Group invests in energy-efficient stables for better climate control. Custom-made feed ensures less waste and greater animal welfare. We use all eggs. We process off-spec eggs into salads or powder. We reuse eggshells as a calcium source in feed - circularity is key. Efficient transport reduces the CO2 impact. And our pool of farmers contributes to a good work-life balance, thus remaining sustainably employable.

05 Quality

At Hardeman Egg Group, all processes are fully traceable. Every egg and egg product is traceable to the farm, including laying date and feed. This allows us to develop customised products for our customers. Our colleagues are trained to ensure the highest standards. A specialised team carries out checks of the process and on the farms. This is how we guarantee consistent quality and safety, while remaining flexible and innovatively meet customer requirements.

Gallery Enthusiastic reactions during Kijken bij de Boer [Take a look at the Farm]!

Last Wednesday, 7 August, Johnny and Caroline Varenkamp opened up their organic poultry farm Nieuw Essen to cyclists taking part in the “Kijken bij de Boer” bicycle tour. We were privileged to welcome an incredibly large number of enthusiastic cyclists. We got responses like: "Great to see where our food actually comes from" and "How incredibly soft and cute the chicks are". There was plenty to see and do. Our quality manager Jan van Esch was happy to tell visitors more about the chickens and our eggs. Our colleagues also enjoyed preparing a delicious boiled egg for the visitors.
