  • Our very own, Susan Elliott Sim, Ph.D. was a guest on the latest episode of Palate and Beyond. Host, Paulami Bandyopadhyay, interviewed Susan about how Many Roads is trying to get more pasture-raised eggs from small flocks sold in cities. It was such an honour to be featured on your podcast, Paulami. Many thanks.

    #BehindEveryBite with @PalateAndBeyond We love to eat eggs but how much do we know about them? Chicken eggs are popular with both small farmers and consumers. Despite strong demand in every Canadian city for local eggs, small local farmers are often left out of markets because eggs need to be graded before they can be sold. In this episode I chatted with Susan Sim from Many Roads Purveyors, who are making the supply chain between small farms and consumers more efficient and seamless by creating services that are affordable and convenient.

  • We are egg dealers licensed by the Egg Farmers of Ontario! It's a pretty exclusive group: there are only 10 in the province. You've probably never heard of egg dealers. Here's why it's important. Farmers can sell eggs at the farm gate, but only directly to consumers, i.e. the person or family that's going to eat the eggs. In order to sell eggs off the farm property, such as at a farmer's market or a retail location, the the eggs must be graded at a facility that is certified by CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency). There are 54 egg grading stations in Ontario. Most of them grade only their own eggs. Typically, they will buy your eggs and return an equivalent number of eggs from some unknown producer. Less than a handful will "custom grade" eggs, meaning return eggs to the farmer who brought them in. This is important, because the farmer put a lot of care into raising the hens and knows their product the best. Furthermore, it can be quite a distance from a farm to a welcoming grading station. That's where we come in. As egg dealers, we are allowed to buy eggs from famers, take them to be graded, and bring them to market. We are required to submit weekly reports. In this way, we become part of the supply chain of safe and legal high-quality eggs.
