Farmer Ben's Eggs is a 3rd generation family farm, owned and operated currently by Ian and Jennifer Woike. Ben, Ian's father, started the egg layer farm in 1980, branching out to the grading and wholesale business with Ian in 1994. Ian and Ben have proudly been providing safe, fresh nutritious eggs to Vancouver Island for over 4 decades.
Ian currently manages the company on a daily basis with the help of 18 employees. Jennifer manages the marketing and public relations at Farmer Ben's.
In addition to running the company, Ian and Jennifer have raised 3 children on the farm. All 3 children have been involved with the farm, while their second son has cultivated a passion for agriculture and stepped up to assist Ian with day to day operations.
"Our eggs are always 100% Island produced. We are a locally owned and family run egg production and wholesale operation, located in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.
Our farm operates independently, without any government subsidies and we respect our natural resources and are mindful of the environmental impacts of our products. Our hens are raised without the use of hormones, antibiotics or steroids, and exceed animal welfare standards set out by the Egg Farmers of Canada. We're proud to have the first and only Enriched Housing in our state-of-the-art layer barn, operating since the Spring of 2019.
Each egg is laid by hens free from hormones, antibiotics and steroids. Our birds are housed within 2.5 km of our grading station, creating a minimal carbon footprint. This care and respect for the environment and nutrition extend to the customer."
Farmer Ben's is an active community participant and donates many dollars back into the community that supports them.
Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!
