More Scottish organic eggs rolling out to scores of Co-op stores

Duncan Farms said the new agreement would see Duncan’s Eggs rolled out to 152 stores across Scotland, up from the current 23 branches.

As part of the rollout, 132 Co-op stores will also begin stocking the brand’s organic free range, marking the return of the organic range to UK retail. Co-op will be the only retailer to stock the organic product.

Rachael Duncan, owner of Duncan Farms, said: “Expanding our partnership with Co-op is a hugely positive step for Duncan Farms and demonstrates the growing demand for Duncan’s Eggs. We’re excited to be reaching more shoppers who are looking for traceable, nutritious Scottish free range eggs.

“Launching our organic Duncan’s eggs with Co-op is a particularly exciting development. It’s fantastic to have Co-op’s support as we grow the Duncan’s Eggs range and offer customers more choice.”

Produced in line with certified organic standards, the eggs are laid at a small number of carefully selected organic free range farms in Aberdeenshire and Moray. Every egg is fully traceable back to the farm of origin via the Duncan’s Eggs “egg tracker”.

Katie Schofield, senior buying manager - local at Co-op, said: “As a member-owned retailer, we’re committed to backing British farming, supporting local producers and offering our customers high-quality, ethical choices.

“Duncan’s Eggs share our focus on transparency, animal welfare and doing the right thing for communities, so we’re proud to bring both their free range and exclusive organic range to even more Co-op stores across the UK.

“This expansion strengthens our commitment to offering great-tasting, responsibly sourced Scottish produce to our members and customers.”
